Schwarzenegger breaks with Republicans: supports Kamala Harris!

Los Angeles, USA - Los Angeles-In a surprising political step, the former California governor and Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger, traditionally a Republican, has announced his support for the democrat Harris in the upcoming US presidential election. The 77-year-old actor, who was known for his Republican values ​​in the past, said on the platform X (formerly Twitter) that he is currently not favoring a party in the USA, but is now behind Harris and her vice candidate Tim Walz. Kamala Harris was district prosecutor in San Francisco.

In an emotional post, Schwarzenegger criticized Donald Trump, the former president and also Republican. He described it as un -American not to recognize the election results and to describe the United States as "garbage can for the world". "First of all, I am an American before I am a republican," he emphasized, making it clear that a candidate like Trump, who called his supporters for the storm on the Capitol, was unable to solve the country's problems. "He only respects the voices of the Americans if they are for him," added Schwarzenegger.

The Austrian and "Terminator" star native already appealed to the Americans after the violent events on the Capitol in January 2021 to overcome the country's division. He accused Trump of trying a coup by misleading people with lies. "President Trump is a failed leader. He will go down in history as the worst president of all time," said Schwarzenegger. With this clear announcement, the actor and politician clearly positions himself against the Trump supporters and shows his support for a different political direction in the USA.
