Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former Republican governor of California, made headlines by endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, issuing a stark warning against a second Donald Trump presidency, reports The Hill.
“I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians,” Schwarzenegger posted Wednesday on X. He described himself as a former governor who “understands the beauty of the free market” and criticized both parties, pointing to Republicans’ “deficit spending” and Democrats’ “local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.”

Although he avoided directly naming Trump, Schwarzenegger decried efforts to overturn election results as “un-American.” “To someone like me, who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America … a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious,” he added.
Schwarzenegger, 77, declared his support for Harris and Tim Walz, saying he was voting for them because “Washington does nothing” on issues like the national debt and immigration reform. He urged Americans to reject “politicians who prefer talking points to public service,” adding, “We should be pissed!”
In a direct swipe at Trump’s record, Schwarzenegger said a second term would mean “four more years of bulls‑‑‑ with no results” and deepen division in the country. He concluded, “Turn the page and put this junk behind us. And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans.”
