Jennifer Lawrence has made her support for Kamala Harris for president known – and for a reason.
Hollywood star Jennifer Lawrence (34) is the next in a series of celebrities who have made it public that she supports Kamala Harris (59) in the race for the US presidency. The actress confirmed this. There is a very specific reason behind this: “The issue of abortion is literally on the ballot.”
“I’m voting for Kamala Harris because I think she’s a great candidate and I know she will do everything in her power to protect reproductive rights,” the US magazine quotes the Oscar winner as saying. She also calls on other people to do the same: “That’s the most important thing: We must not let anyone into the White House who wants to ban abortion.”
Before the presidential election in November, the documentary “Zurawski v Texas,” produced by Jennifer Lawrence, will be released. It tells the story of abortion supporters who sued the state of Texas in 2023.
Jennifer Lawrence was a Republican
Jennifer Lawrence has long been a public advocate for abortion rights and the LGBTQIA+ community. However, it wasn’t always this way: The actress grew up in a conservative Republican family and even supported Republican presidential candidate John McCain in 2008.
that her political views began to change after watching an episode of the US sitcom “30 Rock”. Filming in other countries changed her view further. She noticed that wealth around the world never seemed to trickle down to the people who really needed it, but remained concentrated in the upper class. For her, being a Republican always meant: “Why should my taxes pay for your arrogant lifestyle?” However, she realized: “Nobody likes to lose half of their paycheck, but for me it made sense. It makes sense for the common good.”
Many celebrities support Kamala Harris
How many celebrities, especially from film and music, support Kamala Harris was already clear at the Democratic Party convention in August. In recent weeks, several entertainment heavyweights have made their support for Kamala Harris public. Shortly after Harris’ debate against Donald Trump (78), pop star Taylor Swift (34) spoke out in favor of the Democrat. Last week, Billie Eilish (22) and her brother Finneas (27) announced that they would vote for Kamala Harris.
