Harrison Ford has endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. In a pair of black-and-white clips, he explained why, at age 64, he has decided to tell “people I've never met who I'm voting for and why” for this election.
In one clip, he explains that while he doesn't agree with every single policy, he says: “These two people believe in the rule of law. They believe in science. They believe that when you govern, you do so for all Americans, they believe that we are in this together. These are ideas I believe in. These are people I can get behind.”
Meanwhile, he says of Trump, “He spent four years turning us against each other while embracing dictators and tyrants around the world. That's not who we are. We don't need to make America great again. As hon. We are great. All we need is to work together again. All we need is a president who works for all of us again.”
In a second video, Ford addresses how even former members of Trump's administration are not voting for him. “When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms, saying, 'For God's sake, don't do this again' — you have to pay attention. They're telling us something important.” He points out that for many of them, it will be the first time they've not voted Republican, because they know this really matters,” he says.
“Kamala Harris will protect your right to disagree with her about policies or ideas,” he continues. “And then, as we have done for centuries, we'll debate them, we'll work on them together, and we'll move forward.
“The other guy, he demands unquestioning loyalty, says he wants revenge. I'm Harrison Ford. I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move forward. I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris.”
Ford adds his voice to the massive chorus of celebrity voices who are voting the Democratic ticket. Other stars who have backed Harris include Megan Thee Stallion, Maren Morris, John Legend, Bad Bunny, and Cher. Beyoncé and Bruce Springsteen also appeared with the vice president at rallies last week.
