Sam Elliott Stars in Powerful Campaign Ad for Kamala Harris
Renowned actor Sam Elliott has made a significant impact in the political arena with his latest campaign ad in support of Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. The 80-year-old actor, known for his distinctive voice and roles in Westerns and other films, appeared in a video released by the Lincoln Project on Monday.
In the ad, Elliott delivers a heartfelt and forceful message, urging voters to embrace the “courage” of Kamala Harris and avoid the “lies and hate” associated with Donald Trump. His words are laced with his characteristic down-home delivery, making the message feel personal and compelling. “Are we really going back down that same fucking broken road?” Elliott asks, his voice evoking a sense of urgency and sincerity.
The ad features familiar imagery such as wilderness, farms, and the American flag, but it is Elliott’s words that stand out, resonating as if spoken around a campfire. He concludes with a strong call to action: “It’s time to be a man and vote for a woman,” a statement that underscores his support for Harris.
This is not Elliott’s first foray into political endorsements. He previously supported President Joe Biden in a similar campaign ad, which also garnered significant attention. In this latest effort, Elliott is joined by other notable celebrities, including Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Fran Drescher, all of whom are backing Kamala Harris.
