Harrison Ford has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris just days before the 2024 election.
Ford appeared in a series of videos in collaboration with the Harris-Walz campaign, which were released Saturday one video“When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding the alarm and saying, ‘For God’s sake, don’t do this again,’ you should pay attention. They tell us something important. These are not soft people. They are governors, generals, standing up to the leader of the party they have campaigned for all their lives. For many of them, this will be the first time they ever vote for someone who doesn’t have an “R” next to their name. Because they know this really matters.”

Ford continued, “The truth is, Kamala Harris will protect your right to disagree with her on policies or ideas, and then, as we have done for centuries, we will debate them. We will work on it together, and we will move forward. The other man, he demands unconditional loyalty, says he wants revenge. I’m Harrison Ford. I have one vote – just like everyone else – and I’m going to use it to move forward. I’m going to vote for Kamala Harris.”

In another video, the “Star Wars” star said he’s “frustrated about a lot of things in this country,” as if he’s “sure” other people are too. “But the other man pitted us against each other for four years, embracing dictators and tyrants around the world,” Ford continued. “That’s not who we are. We don’t need to make America great again. Come on, we’re great, but what we need is to work together again. What we need is a president who works for all of us again.”
Harris has received support from a number of Hollywood figures. Beyoncé supported the vice president during a gathering in Houston in October alongside her former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland. In August, Harris was joined by celebrities such as Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. Others who have given speeches, appearances or shared messages in support of Harris include Taylor Swift, Oprah, Mindy Kaling, Jennifer Lawrence, Billie Eilish, Leonardo DiCaprio, Eminem and more.
These outpourings of support have prompted large communities to donate to the Harris-Walz campaign. Among these are Swifties for Harris and White Dudes for Harristhe latter of which included a YouTube event in which JJ Abrams, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Groban, Sean Astin, Michael Kelly, Josh Gad, Jeff Bridges and Mark Hamill all participated and managed to raise over $4 million in donations.
