Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio has publicly endorsed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris for president. In a video posted on Instagram, DiCaprio highlighted the urgent need to address climate change, citing its impact on the economy and the environment. DiCaprio praised Harris for her commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 and building a green economy.
DiCaprio, a vocal advocate for climate action, has previously supported Democratic candidates and attended fundraisers for Joe Biden. He criticized President Trump for withdrawing the United States from the Paris climate accord and rolling back environmental protections, accusing him of denying scientific facts.
Harris, who has garnered support from various high-profile entertainers including Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey, and George Clooney, has been actively campaigning with notable figures like former President Barack Obama and musician Bruce Springsteen. Beyoncé, whose song 'Freedom' serves as a campaign anthem for Harris, is expected to join her rally in Houston.
On the other side, Republican nominee Donald Trump has celebrity supporters such as Elon Musk, Dennis Quaid, and Kid Rock. DiCaprio previously met with Trump in 2016 to discuss the potential economic benefits of environmentally focused jobs.
With Election Day approaching, endorsements from influential figures like DiCaprio and the star-studded support for both candidates underscore the significance of the upcoming presidential election.
