Arnold Schwarzenegger says he’s voting for Harris

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 trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious. And I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz,” Schwarzenegger said in a post on X.
The famous actor and longtime Republican criticized Donald Trump and said a second term for the former president would make people “angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.”
“He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger,” Schwarzenegger said. Last week, Trump said the US is “like a garbage can for the world” as he railed against illegal immigration at a campaign rally in Arizona.
Schwarzenegger has been openly critical of the former president in recent years. Following the January 6, 2021, insurrection, Schwarzenegger said Trump would be remembered as the worst president in US history and urged unity among Americans.
After the former president emerged as the clear front-runner for the GOP nomination last year, Schwarzenegger spoke with CNN’s Dana Bash and predicted Trump would lose the 2024 election because Republicans had dug a hole for themselves with him as the party’s leader.
