Social media has become ablaze as a battle of ideas rages over the candidacies of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Figures from all walks of life are speaking out, revealing not only their preferences but also the deep divisions that will shape the future of the country.
Iconic figures from the entertainment industry, including Hollywood alumni Dennis Quaid and Jon Voight, as well as controversial figures such as Elon Musk and Kanye West, have aligned themselves with Donald Trump.
This decision reflects not only their political convictions, but also a desire to hold on to a vision of the country based on traditional values. In doing so, they defy the liberal tendencies of Hollywood, where supporting Trump can come at a high professional cost.
On the other hand, Kamala Harris has had the support of artists committed to progressive causes. Actresses such as Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lawrence and musicians such as Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish have publicly expressed their support for Harris, highlighting her role in the fight for social justice and reproductive rights.
Beyond their visibility, these celebrities mobilize a generation of young voters who yearn for a profound change in the direction of the country.
Trump: The favorite of Hollywood’s old guard
Former President Donald Trump has maintained a strong base of support among several veteran Hollywood actors, who see him as a symbol of the conservative old guard.
With an agenda centered on nationalism and conservatism, Trump has positioned himself as the ideal candidate for those who oppose progressive values that, according to them, threaten the essence of the country.
- Elon Musk: The Republicans’ Biggest Investor
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and founder of SpaceX, has become a prominent Trump supporter, investing more than $118 million in his campaign and sharing the stage with him at multiple rallies.
Through X — formerly Twitter — he has reaffirmed his loyalty to the former president, even restoring his account after it was suspended. Musk, a father of 12, has expressed concern about the country’s declining birth rate.
In a post on X, he encouraged people to have at least three children to “help humanity grow,” linking his defense of traditional values with the need to counteract the demographic crisis that he considers “more serious than climate change.”
- Kanye West: The controversy on stage.
Kanye West, known for his music career and his marriage to controversial Kim Kardashian, has been a provocative figure in his support for Trump.
Despite the criticism, West has defended Trump as an opportunity to challenge the status quo and restore America’s greatness, generating a mix of support and rejection within the artistic community.
- Jon Voight: Zionist advocate and Biden critic
Jon Voight, who rose to fame starring alongside Dustin Hoffman in Midnight Cowboy (1969), has been a loyal supporter of Trump since his first candidacy.
Following Trump’s recent conviction for fraud, Voight did not hesitate to attack the Biden administration, saying that “they allow everyone to steal, cheat and lie.”
His defence of Israel is central, especially in the wake of the Hamas attacks. This stance has further distanced him from his daughter, actress Angelina Jolie, known for her activism on behalf of the Palestinian people, creating even more palpable family tension between the two.
- Dennis Quaid: Reagan’s voice joins Trump
Dennis Quaid, best known for his role in The Good Shepherd (1998), has expressed his support for Donald Trump, stressing the importance of conservative values and national security.
He recently appeared at a Trump campaign event in California, where he referred to him as “my favorite president of the 21st century.” In his remarks, he highlights his experience helping immigrants legalize their status, underscoring Trump’s immigration focus.
However, her support is complicated by her differences with her son, Jack Quaid, the result of his relationship with actress Meg Ryan, who, like her mother, is an openly Democrat and has repeatedly expressed her rejection of Trump on social media.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: The Black Sheep of the Family
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., son of the assassinated Bobby Kennedy and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy (JFK), a former Trump critic, has made a surprising about-face by suspending his independent candidacy and joining the Republicans, claiming that Trump is the only candidate capable of protecting freedom in America.
This support has caused divisions within the Kennedy family, historically aligned with the Democratic Party.
In a statement, Robert’s five siblings expressed their disappointment, saying his decision to back Trump “is a betrayal of the family values the Kennedys have always stood for.”
Donald Trump has also received support from figures such as Kelsey Grammer, known for the legendary series Frasier, who has praised his leadership; Jim Caviezel, who has supported his policy on religious freedom issues; musician Russell Brand, known for his provocative stances; Rob Schneider, who has defended the former president’s conservative vision; and Mel Gibson, whose support has focused on the defense of traditional values.
Kamala Harris: The candidate of the new generations
Vice President Kamala Harris has emerged as a figure of change, especially for young people, who see her as a symbol of inclusion and justice.
This support is not limited to his progressive policies on civil rights and the environment, but reflects a call for a renewal in American politics.
In addition, her team has organized events and social media campaigns aimed at mobilizing the youth vote, strengthening its ties with a generation that aspires to real and lasting change.
- Taylor Swift: Champion of Women’s Rights
“I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for rights and causes that need a warrior to defend them. I think she’s a strong and talented leader, and I think we can accomplish so much more in this country if we’re guided by calm and not chaos,” the singer wrote in a post on her Instagram.
In a tongue-in-cheek comment, Swift called herself “a single woman with cats,” responding to Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance, who disparaged childless single women in a speech, suggesting their lifestyles left them lacking the responsibility and experience to make policy decisions affecting families.
Swift’s post mobilized more than 337,000 people to visit voter registration sites the following night.
- George Clooney: Committed to the future of democracy
Democratic actor and fundraiser George Clooney has officially endorsed Kamala Harris’s presidential bid, expressing his gratitude toward Biden for not running again.
“President Biden has shown what true leadership looks like. He is saving democracy once again. We are excited to do everything we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic mission,” Clooney said.
His support has been crucial for Democrats, especially after he raised $28 million for Biden’s re-election campaign at a historic event.
- Jennifer Lawrence: The evolution of a brave voice for change
Growing up in the traditional state of Kentucky, Jennifer Lawrence initially identified as a Republican, voting for John McCain in 2008.
However, as she rose in her career, after starring in the famous dystopian saga The Hunger Games, she began to question her vision.
“Nobody enjoys seeing half their salary being taken away, but I understood that it makes sense if it is done for the common good,” he reflects.
Trump’s election marked a turning point: “When he was elected, that changed everything. This is an impeached president who has broken a lot of laws.”
Now, Lawrence is backing Harris, emphasizing that “abortion is literally on the ballot.”
- Billie Eilish: The representative of the new generation
Billie Eilish and her Grammy-winning songwriter brother Finneas have officially endorsed Kamala Harris and her vice presidential running mate, Tim Walz.
The singer, known for her denunciatory lyrics and her commitment to social causes, explained her support with a direct message to her followers: “We voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because they are fighting to protect our reproductive freedom, our planet and our democracy.”
On his social media, where he has tens of millions of followers, he has promoted the importance of voting to drive change. He closed his message with a strong call to action: “Vote as if your life depended on it, because it does.”
- Bryan Cranston: A father who defends reproductive rights
Bryan Cranston, the famous actor from Breaking Bad, openly expressed his concern about the future of women’s rights in the United States during his speech in support of Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz.
“I am the father of a daughter, and it is important to me for her life now and for the future, and for the daughters of other fathers, to be able to have the fundamental right to freedom of choice throughout their lives,” he said in his speech.
“There should be no one but them deciding what happens to their own bodies,” the actor added firmly.
- Julia Roberts: Inspiring the new generations
Julia Roberts has been a vocal supporter of Kamala Harris, highlighting her support for reproductive rights and her commitment to gender equality.
At an event in her home state of Georgia, she said: “I believe in Georgia. I wouldn’t have come home if I didn’t believe that we can achieve really beautiful goals.”
During her speech, she urged women to speak to men who did not vote, stressing the importance of male participation in the fight for equality.
A lifelong Democrat, Roberts has been very active in Harris’ campaign, highlighting her pride in her children, who will be voting for the first time in this election.
Kamala Harris has received support from celebrities such as Robert De Niro, who has championed social justice; Anne Hathaway, who advocates for women’s rights; Meryl Streep, who promotes gender equality; Leonardo DiCaprio, known for his fight against climate change; or Beyoncé, who focuses on racial justice.
Former President Jimmy Carter, who turned 100 after a year of hospice care, also expressed his wish that his final vote be for Harris.
As we approach November 5, the polarization in American politics becomes more palpable, with an electorate divided between the contrasting visions of the two candidates.
Will Kamala Harris’ promises of change and progress be enough to challenge Donald Trump’s conservative legacy? At this historic crossroads, the future of the nation hangs in the balance, and only time will reveal which path the American people will choose in this crucial electoral contest.
