Ford continued, “The truth is this, Kamala Harris will protect your right to disagree with her about policies or ideas, and then, as we have done for centuries, we’ll debate them. We’ll work on them together, and we’ll move forward. The other guy, he demands unquestioning loyalty, says he wants revenge. I’m Harrison Ford.

In another video, the “Star Wars” actor said he is “frustrated about a lot of things in this country,” like he’s “sure” other people are, too. “But the other guy, he spent four years turning us against each other while embracing dictators and tyrants around the world,” Ford continued. “That’s not who we are. We don’t need to make America great again. Come on, we are great, but what we need is to work together again. What we need is a president who works for all of us again.”
Harris has received support from a number of Hollywood figures. Beyoncé supported the vice president at a rally in Houston in October alongside her former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland. In August, Harris was accompanied by celebrities like Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. Others who have given speeches, performances or shared posts in support of Harris include Taylor Swift, Oprah, Mindy Kaling, Jennifer Lawrence, Billie Eilish, Leonardo DiCaprio, Eminem and more.
These endorsements have corralled large communities to donate towards the Harris-Walz campaign. Among these are Swifties for Harris and White Dudes for Harris, the latter of which included a YouTube event where J.J. Abrams, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Groban, Sean Astin, Michael Kelly, Josh Gad, Jeff Bridges and Mark Hamill all participated and managed to gather over $4 million in donations.
