Leonardo DiCaprio Endorses Kamala Harris for President, Criticizes Trump on Climate Policies

Academy Award-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio has publicly endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in the upcoming election. In a video released on Instagram, DiCaprio expressed his strong support for Harris, highlighting her commitment to addressing climate change and developing a green economy.

DiCaprio emphasized the urgent need for leaders who are equipped to enact climate policies, citing the devastating impact of recent hurricanes Helene and Milton. He criticized former President Donald Trump for withdrawing the United States from the Paris Climate Accords and rolling back critical environmental protections. ‘Donald Trump continues to deny the facts. He continues to deny the science,’ DiCaprio stated in the video.

DiCaprio praised Harris for her ambitious goals to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and her role in the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. He also mentioned Trump’s promise to the oil and gas industry to eliminate any desired regulations in exchange for a billion-dollar donation, further solidifying his support for Harris. ‘We need a bold step forward to save our economy, our planet and ourselves. That’s why I’m voting for Kamala Harris,’ DiCaprio said.

Harris has garnered support from several other prominent entertainers, including Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey, Meryl Streep, Chris Rock, and George Clooney. In contrast, Trump has received endorsements from celebrities such as Elon Musk, Dennis Quaid, Roseanne Barr, and Kid Rock.

This endorsement comes as the election enters its final stages, with both campaigns intensifying their efforts to secure voter support. DiCaprio’s endorsement is seen as a significant boost for Harris, given his influential voice on environmental issues.
