Celebrities have weighed in on the 2024 presidential race in a variety of ways in recent weeks, with some of the biggest names in politics and Hollywood backing a particular candidate in hopes of moving the needle this November.

Former Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera tweeted that he once considered Donald Trump a friend until he "stabbed the Constitution in the back," and said he will support Kamala Harris this election because Trump is a "sore loser who cannot be trusted."

Actress Anne Hathaway sung Queen's "Somebody to Love” at a Broadway for Harris rally and said: "In case you didn't know, I am voting for Kamala."

TV show host and producer Andy Cohen posted a video with Kamala Harris' husband Doug Emhoff and said he would be voting for Harris because "it's an investment in my daughter's future.. I want her to make her own decisions."

Actor Dennis Quaid attended a Trump rally in California where he called President Ronald Reagan his "favorite president of the 20th century" and Trump "my favorite president of the 21st century."

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker—who made headlines earlier this year after giving a controversial college graduation speech that touched on Catholic values, abortion, IVF and a woman's role in society—endorsed Trump, calling him “the president who is going to be the most pro-life president” in a Fox News interview.
