Harrison Ford, aged 82, was recently spotted in Los Angeles after publicly endorsing Kamala Harris in the recent election, which saw Donald Trump win in a landslide. Despite the political upset, Ford appeared upbeat as he went about his day, dressed casually and carrying shopping bags at the Brentwood Country Mart. Ford had released a black-and-white video endorsing Harris, citing concerns raised by former members of the Trump administration and urging people to pay attention to their warnings. He mentioned that some individuals would be voting Democrat for the first time in their lives due to fears of Trump winning the presidency.
In his endorsement video, Ford stated that Harris will protect the right to disagree with her policies or ideas, unlike Trump who demands unquestioning loyalty. He emphasized the importance of the election and his decision to vote for Harris, despite not agreeing with her on every policy. Ford’s endorsement of Harris was part of a trend among celebrities, including Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Eminem, and Leonardo DiCaprio, who publicly supported the Democratic ticket. Ford had previously criticized Trump on issues like global warming, calling him a ‘son of a b****’ on a talk show and expressing concerns about the lack of belief in science among some leaders.
Ford’s public appearance after the election showcased his resilience and continued advocacy for his chosen candidate, despite the outcome not aligning with his preferences. He had also endorsed Joe Biden in the previous election, highlighting his consistent stance on environmental issues and the need for leadership that understands and addresses scientific challenges. Ford’s years of voting experience and his decision to publicly endorse candidates reflect his belief in the importance of civic engagement and using one’s voice to advocate for change. His support for Harris and Biden demonstrates his commitment to values and policies that align with his beliefs and priorities.
