Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio has endorsed Kamala Harris for president, voicing his support in a video shared Friday on Instagram. “Climate change is destroying the earth and destabilizing our economy,” DiCaprio emphasized. “We need bold leadership to safeguard our planet, our economy, and our future. That’s why I’m voting for Kamala Harris.”
DiCaprio Praises Harris’ Climate Goals
A longtime advocate for climate action, DiCaprio commended Harris for her ambitious climate agenda, which includes reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 and advancing a green economy. He highlighted her critical role in passing the Inflation Reduction Act, where, as vice president, Harris cast the tie-breaking vote. DiCaprio criticized Donald Trump’s environmental policies, noting Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement and roll back essential environmental protections, accusing him of continuing to “deny the facts” and “deny the science.”
High-Profile Support for Kamala Harris
With less than two weeks to Election Day, Harris has garnered the support of prominent figures like Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey, Meryl Streep, Chris Rock, and George Clooney. She recently held a rally in the Atlanta suburbs with former President Barack Obama and musician Bruce Springsteen, and is expected to rally in Houston on Friday, where Beyoncé’s song “Freedom,” the campaign’s anthem, may be performed live.
Trump’s Celebrity Supporters Include Elon Musk and Dennis Quaid
Republican candidate Donald Trump has also attracted celebrity endorsements, including Elon Musk, Dennis Quaid, Roseanne Barr, and Kid Rock. DiCaprio, who previously met with Trump in 2016 to discuss environmentally centered job growth, remains committed to advocating for climate solutions aligned with Harris’ platform.
