Schwarzenegger breaks with Republicans: Support for Harris!

In a surprising political move, 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 elections. The 77-year-old said on the X platform (formerly Twitter) that he currently does not support a party in the United States, but would vote for Harris and her vice candidate Tim Walz. This decision causes a sensation and raises questions about loyalty within the Republican Party.

Schwarzenegger, who, during his term from 2003 to 2011, as governor of California, the then district prosecutor of San Francisco, Kamala Harris, knew the former President Donald Trump. In his post, he described it as un -American not to recognize the results of an election and to defamate America as "garbage can for the world". He made it clear that he sees himself primarily as an American and not just as a Republican.

Schwarzenegger vs. Trump

Schwarzenegger Trump's behavior, convicted in a powerful statement, in particular his role in the storm on the Capitol in January 2021, and emphasized that a candidate who calls his supporters for such extreme actions could not offer solutions to the country's problems. "President Trump is a failed leader. He will go down in history as the worst president of all time," said Schwarzenegger. These words underline the deep gap that exists between him and the former president, and show that even prominent Republicans are willing to face Trump when it comes to the future of America.
