The US elections are rapidly approaching, with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris running neck and neck, separated by just a few percentage points. The final outcome will be determined after all votes are counted. In an effort to raise awareness, several celebrities have publicly endorsed candidates.
Harrison Ford’s endorsement of Harris is the latest example of celebrity backing in politics. As one of Hollywood’s biggest stars for decades, Ford’s recent endorsement has generated significant buzz on social media. People have since rallied behind Ford and his “powerful” video, and here’s a glimpse of the same!
Harrison Ford Shows His Support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz
In a video released by Kamala HQ on X (formerly known as Twitter) Harris Ford said,
“Look, I’ve been voting for 64 years, never really wanted to talk about it very much.”
Ford took a dig at the Trump administration and the “sounding alarms” in this particular clip, which reached a large audience on social media.
In another clip, Ford said,
“This election, I’m casting my ballot for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”
Ford also clarified that he doesn’t agree with every one of their policies, and doesn’t think they’re perfect. The Hollywood icon then goes on to elaborate further on why he’s voting for Harris before talking about the “other guy” who spent his time as President turning people against each other.

One user on X wrote,
“To everyone correctly pointing out that our side has Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill, a reminder that Carrie Fisher publicly loathed Trump until her dying day. We actually have the whole original Star Wars trio.”
“There’s nothing like watching your childhood heroes like @MarkHamill and Harrison Ford come out to support our future,”
expressed one user, and another wrote,
“Please listen to Harrison Ford’s words. I get that there are Republicans out there who don’t wanna vote for a Democrat, but his words are powerful and it should at least make you pause if you are a Republican.”
“A MOST powerful endorsement of Kamala Harris. Thank you, Harrison Ford. Please watch this. Vote Blue to save Democracy!”
wrote one user.
