Trump’s Disappointment in Julia Roberts Highlights Divisive Celebrity Politics
In the lead-up to the presidential election, former President Donald Trump has criticised actress Julia Roberts for her endorsement of his political opponent, Kamala Harris. Roberts narrated a Vote Common Good advertisement, urging women to vote for Harris regardless of their partners’ preferences. Trump voiced his disapproval during an appearance on Fox & Friends, calling the ad “stupid” and arguing that it doesn’t reflect how couples typically behave. The commercial features two women casting their votes for Harris and her running mate Tim Walz, while their husbands look on. The backlash from Trump occurs as Harris concludes a $370 million media campaign.
