Leonardo DiCaprio is endorsing Kamala Harris for president, publicly expressing his support in a video posted Friday. The Oscar-winning actor, known for his dedication to environmental causes, praised the Democratic nominee for her strong climate goals, particularly her target to reach net zero emissions by 2050 and her commitment to fostering a green economy. DiCaprio also highlighted Harris’s role in the Inflation Reduction Act, where she cast the tie-breaking vote as vice president, helping to pass this historic climate-focused legislation.
DiCaprio has shown support for Democratic candidates before, notably attending a 2020 fundraiser for Joe Biden. With Election Day approaching, other prominent entertainers have rallied behind Harris, including Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey, Meryl Streep, Chris Rock, and George Clooney. Harris recently appeared at a rally in the Atlanta suburbs with former President Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen, while Beyoncé, whose song “Freedom” has become a campaign anthem, is expected to join her at a Houston rally.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s celebrity supporters include Elon Musk, Dennis Quaid, Roseanne Barr, and Kid Rock. Notably, DiCaprio once met with Trump in 2016 to discuss the economic benefits of environmentally focused job creation.
