Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence has officially endorsed Kamala Harris and
Tim Walz
for the
2024 US presidential election
, revealing her support for the Democratic ticket in a recent interview with 'People' magazine, according to the Independent.
"Abortion is on the ballot," Lawrence said, praising Vice President
Harris
for her commitment to protecting women's rights following the 2022 overturning of Roe v Wade, the landmark ruling that once safeguarded
abortion rights
in the US.
“I’m voting for Kamala Harris because I think she’s an amazing candidate and I know that she will do whatever she can to protect reproductive rights,” Lawrence said. "That’s the most important thing, is to not let somebody into the White House who is going to ban abortion", she added.
The 34-year-old actress is not the first celebrity to throw her support behind Harris and Walz. Following a debate between Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump, pop star Taylor Swift has also endorsed the Democratic candidates.
Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas shared similar sentiments on National Voter Registration Day. “We are voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because they are fighting to protect our reproductive freedom, our planet, and our democracy,” Eilish said. Finneas urged voters to reject extremism and Project 2025, a plan associated with Trump’s potential second term, which includes rolling back abortion rights and imposing harsh immigration policies.
