A-list actor Harrison Ford expresses support for Kamala Harris, declaring his vote to advance progress
In the upcoming 2024 presidential election, the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is shaping up to be a close contest, with many polls showing a deadlock[1]. The outcome of this election is expected to be determined by a series of key battleground states, according to reports.
Harrison Ford, the renowned actor known for his roles in "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones," has recently endorsed Vice President Harris for the election. Ford emphasized that he has been voting for 64 years and believes Harris is the right choice for the future of the United States[2].
The key battleground states for the 2024 presidential election are expected to be Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, which were crucial to Trump's victory in 2016 as he reclaimed them with narrow margins, contributing 44 electoral votes to his total[1]. Additionally, Maine's 2nd congressional district also played a notable battleground role[1].
Other contested states often recognized as battlegrounds include Arizona and North Carolina, where shifts in voter turnout patterns and candidate support were significant[4]. Trump won all seven major battleground states in 2024, totaling 93 electoral votes—though if electoral votes were allocated by congressional districts like Maine and Nebraska, the distribution would have been narrower[2].
In summary, the most critical battlegrounds in 2024 are:
- Wisconsin
- Pennsylvania
- Michigan
- Maine's 2nd Congressional District
- Arizona
- North Carolina
These states will decide the election outcome, with Trump winning key Rust Belt states by small margins against Harris[1][2][4].
Ford warned that those who are speaking out against Trump are "not soft people," but governors and generals who have spent their lives advocating for the Republican party[3]. He also highlighted that former members of the Trump administration are warning against electing Trump again.
In a video posted by the Harris-Walz campaign over the weekend, Harris received endorsements from New Hampshire Republicans six days before the election[5]. The endorsement comes as a significant boost for Harris's campaign, especially in a state that is often considered a swing state.
As the election approaches, the race between Harris and Trump is expected to heat up, with both candidates campaigning extensively in the key battleground states. The outcome of the election will have significant implications for the future of the United States, and the endorsement of Harrison Ford adds to the growing momentum behind Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign.
