Dennis Quaid joins Trump at rally in Coachella and asks audience to ‘pick a side’ in fiery speech

Dennis Quaid joined former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally he held at Calhoun Ranch in Coachella, California, on Saturday.

The 70-year-old actor – who announced he would vote for Trump in May – took to the stage to deliver a speech, telling the audience to “pick a side.”

At the site of the famous music festival, Quaid stated that this year’s presidential election is a vote between TikTok and the US Constitution.

“I’m here to tell you it’s time to pick a side,” he said. “Are we going to be a nation that stands for the Constitution or for TikTok?”

Quaid also lamented the loss of a nation that used to have “cheap money” and “exported oil to our allies and our friends.”

While on stage, he also spoke about his recent starring role and portraying the 40th President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, in the biographical drama titled Reagan, which was released on August 30.

He told the crowd that while Reagan was his favorite president of the 20th century, Trump is his favorite president of the 21st century.

California is not only known for voting blue, but is also the home state of Vice President Kamala Harris.

Quaid previously supported the Republican candidate during the press tour for his film Reagan in early September.

In May, he said he ultimately changed his mind and voted for Trump because of the “weaponization of the justice system” and his political record.

“I think I’m going to vote for him in the next election,” Quaid told host Piers Morgan of Piers Morgan Uncensored. “It just makes sense.”

He continued, “I was ready not to vote for Trump until I saw that, more than just politics, I see a weaponization of our justice system and a challenge to our Constitution.”

He also shared a story about his housekeeper Josie, who he said had been “staying here illegally for over a decade using her sister’s identification.”

He recalled that Josie “worked for us” and “lived in fear” that she would be deported during the many years she worked for him and his family.

Quaid said he only volunteered to sponsor her and help her become a U.S. citizen after Trump was elected.

During his speech, Quaid said that the “fairytale called Harris and Biden just doesn’t work right now.”

“Four years ago, peace in the world was not just a fairy tale,” he continued.

‘Peace in the Middle East – Trump was actually on the verge of realizing the Abraham Accords, which would have recognized Israel by Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries, and put us on the path to peace which we have been trying to achieve since the Biblical times of Ishmael and Isaac.”

Then, for the final stretch of his campaign, Trump will host a campaign rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City in the week leading up to November 5.
