Austrian-American actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, former governor of California and longtime Republican, published a long message on his social networks on Wednesday, October 30, in which he called for people to vote against Donald Trump.
Impossible to stay silent for the former Hollywood star. Arnold Schwarzenegger broke his silence on Wednesday October 30 to take a stand in the American presidential election, which will take place in less than a week. The star of action films from the 80s and 90s, former Republican governor of California, has clearly indicated his preference in this duel between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. He thus launches a call to vote for the Democratic candidate.
Despite his disagreements with the program of the current vice-president, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who defines himself as “an American before being a Republican”believes that voting Democratic is the only way for the United States to move forward. “We must close this chapter in American history”, he said in his message.
Schwarzy no longer recognizes his party
In addition to a successful career in bodybuilding and cult roles in Hollywood such as Terminator or Conan the Barbarian, Arnold Schwarzenegger was also Republican governor of California from 2003 to 2011. Although he has not been involved in politics since, he regularly takes the speak out on social networks on different subjects such as the environment or to denounce hate speech. However, on Wednesday October 30, the former governor spoke about the state of the Republican Party which he no longer recognizes: “My Republicans forgot the beauty of the free market, ran up deficits and rejected the election results”.
In his message, the former governor accuses Donald Trump of dividing the country. “He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be even more anti-American than he already has been, and we the people will get nothing but more anger.”Arnold Schwarzenegger joins the list of celebrities who have sided with Kamala Harris, like Tom Hanks, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.
