Arnold Endorses Kamala
Endorsement Announcement: Arnold Schwarzenegger, crossing party lines, endorses Vice President Harris over former President Trump, citing a potential increase in division under Trump’s leadership.
Schwarzenegger’s Political Stance: Despite his celebrity status and history as a Republican governor, Schwarzenegger expresses disillusionment with both political parties, criticizing Republicans for neglecting free market principles and Democrats for their handling of local policies.
His Critique: Without directly naming Trump, Schwarzenegger describes rejecting election results as “un-American” and condemns disparaging remarks about America as unpatriotic. He emphasizes his identity first as an American, then as a Republican.
Voting Decision: Schwarzenegger declares he will vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, urging others who share his frustration with current politics to also vote for change.
On Political Dysfunction: He criticizes Washington’s inaction on national issues like debt and immigration reform, accusing politicians of favoring electoral success over public service.
Trump’s Controversial Leadership: Schwarzenegger highlights Trump’s divisive tactics and his role during the January 6th Capitol riot, arguing that another term for Trump would continue a cycle of ineffective governance fueled by conflict.
Call to Action: Urges Americans to vote in the upcoming election to move beyond the current political strife, even encouraging those who disagree with him to participate in the voting process as a fundamental American duty.
