Arnold Schwarzenegger makes rare presidential endorsement
Arnold Schwarzenegger announced that he will vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election.
The former Republican governor of California shared his shocked approval on X Wednesday.
‘I don’t really make recommendations. “I’m not shy about sharing my opinions, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians,” the actor wrote.
Still, the Terminator star, 77, said it’s time for the country to “move forward,” and that “the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.”
βWe must close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know former President Trump will not do that,β Schwarzenegger said.
βHe will be divisive, he will offend, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will only become more angry.β

California’s 38th governor, who served from 2003 to 2011, rarely endorses political candidates.
He previously endorsed Ohio Governor John Kasich on the Republican presidential ticket in 2020.
At the time, he compared Kasich’s governing style to the “compassionate conservatism” of former President George W. Bush, CBS News reported.
