“I’m Harrison Ford, doing something I never thought I’d do: telling people I’ve never met who I’m voting for and why I think they might do the same,” he said in a video for Rolling Stone. “This election, I’m casting my ballot for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Do I agree with every one of their policies? Of course not. Do I think they’re perfect? Come on, for crying out loud, they’re people just like you and me.
“But 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. Look, I’m frustrated about a lot of things in this country. I’m sure you are too. But the other guy, 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.’ Come on, we are great. What we need is to work together again. What we need is a president who works for all of us again,” added Ford.
In a second video, Ford called attention to Trump’s former staff that has since come out against 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 said.
Noting that many of them are voting against the Republican party for the first time “because they know this really matters,” Ford added: “Kamala Harris will protect your right to disagree with her about policies or ideas. 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.”
The Shrinking star’s endorsement comes as Harris makes one final push for undecided voters, concluding her historic $370 million paid media campaign with ‘Brighter Future‘, an ad running across CBS and Fox during the 1pm ET slate of NFL games on Saturday.
Ford previously endorsed Joe Biden during his 2020 campaign against Trump.
