Arnold Schwarzenegger has chosen to deviate from his political affiliation by supporting Kamala Harris right before Election Day… This marks the first occasion Arnold has backed a Democrat for the presidency. He cautioned that a second Trump administration could spell disaster for the nation.
The actor and ex-politician shared a comprehensive letter detailing the rationale behind his endorsement of Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, on X last Wednesday… emphasizing that he is making a rare endorsement just days before November 5.
Despite previously serving as California’s governor with a Republican platform, Schwarzenegger expressed his distaste for politics and his distrust of nearly all politicians.
While Schwarzenegger revealed his disappointment with both active political parties, he admitted to feeling more apprehensive about the potential implications of Donald Trump being reelected next week.
He articulated… “Rejecting the outcome of an election is one of the most un-American actions. For someone like me who engages with individuals worldwide and still regards America as the beacon of hope, labeling it a global dumpster is abysmally unpatriotic, and it incenses me. My identity as an American will take precedence over my Republican affiliation.”
He further criticized Trump for inciting the January 6, 2021 insurrection and for disparaging “Americans who oppose him.”
He added… “This will only lead to four more years of chaos without any results, intensifying anger and division. We must turn the page on this chapter of American history, and I am certain that former President Trump will not facilitate that.”
In concluding his letter, Schwarzenegger urged everyone to participate in the voting process… and to “leave this nonsense behind us.”
