The 82-year-old wants to vote for the Democrat Kamala Harris in the US presidential election. The actor says this in a video that the Harris campaign published on the X platform. "The truth is: Kamala Harris will protect your right to disagree with her on political issues and ideas," says Ford, known from film series such as "Indiana Jones" and "Star Wars," in the clip. Even members of Donald Trump's former administration are now warning against voting for the Republican again.
"New York Times" warns against Donald Trump
Shortly before the US presidential election on November 5, the "New York Times" issued a clear warning against Republican Donald Trump. An opinion piece in the newspaper warns: "Vote to end the Trump era." The brief article, which links to numerous previous articles in the paper, states, among other things: "You already know Donald Trump. He is unfit to lead." He tried to undermine an election and remains a "threat to democracy."
