Hollywood actor Harrison Ford pledges support for Vice President Kamala Harris, stating his intention to vote for her to advance progress.
In a significant move for the upcoming 2024 presidential election, actor Harrison Ford has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. Ford, known for his iconic roles in "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones," expressed his support in a video posted by the Harris-Walz campaign over the weekend.
Ford's endorsement comes amidst a somewhat challenging landscape for Harris, as fewer newspapers are endorsing her than backed Clinton or Biden in previous elections. Despite this, Harris has secured the support of several high-profile figures, including George Clooney, Cardi B, Jamie Lee Curtis, and TV producer Shonda Rhimes.
In his endorsement video, Ford highlighted his belief in Harris' commitment to the rule of law and science. He also critiqued former President Trump's presidency, particularly on issues of economic inequality and political division.
On the other hand, the search results do not provide specific names of celebrities who have publicly endorsed Trump for the 2024 election. However, Trump has received endorsements from figures like Dennis Quaid, Jason Aldean, Hulk Hogan, Elon Musk, Jon Voight, Dean Cain, and Kid Rock in the past.
The election is scheduled to take place on November 3, 2024, and the outcome is expected to be determined by a series of key battleground states such as Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Arizona. Harris has also received endorsements from six Republicans in New Hampshire, six days before the election, and other states like New Hampshire, Virginia, and Iowa could also be in play.
In a rally at Jenison Field House on the campus of Michigan State University, Harris spoke about her campaign, emphasizing her commitment to protecting the right to disagree with her about policies or ideas. Ford, who has been voting for 64 years, echoed this sentiment, stating that the officials endorsing Harris are not "soft people," but rather governors and generals who have switched their support to Harris due to their concerns about former Trump administration officials urging voters not to elect Trump again.
The race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is currently deadlocked in many polls, making Ford's endorsement a significant boost for the Harris-Walz campaign.
