Arnold Schwarzenegger is breaking from his political party by endorsing Kamala Harris ahead of Election Day … warning another Trump administration would be disastrous for the country.
The actor and former politician posted a lengthy letter explaining his decision to endorse Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, on X Wednesday … noting he’s issuing a rare endorsement with only days to spare before November 5.
Despite being the former Governor of California, where he ran as a Republican, Schwarzenegger noted he “hates politics” and doesn’t “trust most politicians.”
While Schwarzenegger shared he isn’t a fan of either political party currently, he confessed he’s more concerned about what’s to come if Donald Trump is reelected next week.
He wrote … “Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a [sic] trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious. And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.”
As he continued, Schwarzenegger called out Trump for encouraging the insurrection attempt on January 6, 2021 and for villainizing “Americans who disagree with him.”
He added … “It will just be four more years of bulls*** with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful. We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that.”
Signing off his note, Schwarzenegger encouraged everyone to get out and vote … and to “put this junk behind us.”
