Former president Donald Trump is currently in the midst of another bid for the White House, and a host of celebrities are voicing their support. As Trump continues to gain traction among American voters, notable figures from various entertainment industries are stepping forward to back his campaign. Recent data from the polling firm Civiqs indicates that 41 percent of registered American voters view Trump favorably, compared to 55 percent who do not, resulting in a net favorability rating of -14. This marks his best performance since December 2021 and a significant improvement from a -22 rating in October 2023. Trump is currently polling 1.8 percentage points ahead of incumbent President Joe Biden on average. As his popularity surges, several celebrities have made their endorsements known, as per HuffPost.
1. Kid Rock
The rapper-turned-country music star Kid Rock has been a vocal supporter of Trump since 2016. Their relationship, often highlighted by joint appearances at UFC fights and rounds of golf at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, exemplifies their close bond. During his 'Bad Reputation' tour in 2022, Kid Rock showcased a personalized video message from Trump, who lauded him as "one of the greatest entertainers of our time".
2. Kelsey Grammer
'Frasier' star Kelsey Grammer has consistently supported Trump since the 2016 election. In a December interview with the BBC, Grammer’s discussion about his political views was cut short by Paramount+ representatives, but Grammer himself seemed eager to continue. He has previously defended Trump’s controversial decisions, such as the withdrawal from the G20 climate agreement in 2018, claiming climate change was not a critical issue.
3. Jason Aldean
Country music sensation Jason Aldean has also thrown his support behind Trump. In a late 2023 interview with the LA Times, Aldean spoke highly of the former president, stating, "I like Trump. Hung out with him a couple times. [He’s] been very cool to me. I have nothing but good things to say about the guy."
4. Jon Voight
Oscar-winning actor and father of Angelina Jolie, Jon Voight, has compared Trump to Biblical figures, asserting that Trump is the man to "save the American dream for all." Voight's religious passion has seen him liken Trump’s trials to those of Jesus, expressing a deep, almost spiritual conviction in Trump's ability to lead.
5. Roseanne Barr
Comedian and TV personality Roseanne Barr has been an unwavering Trump supporter. On Real America’s Voice, a right-wing streaming channel, Barr expressed her admiration for Trump, referring to him as "Mother Bear" and praising his bravery. Her public endorsements have remained strong and vocal throughout Trump's political journey.
6. Kristy Swanson
Known for her role in the original 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' movie, Kristy Swanson has emerged as a dedicated Trump advocate in recent years. Her response to calls for removing Trump’s cameo from 'Home Alone 2' was particularly notable. Swanson demanded her scenes from '80s classics like 'Pretty in Pink' and 'Ferris Bueller’s Day Off' be cut if Trump’s was, demonstrating her staunch defense of his presence in pop culture.
7. Kanye West
Rapper and fashion mogul, Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, has had a complex relationship with Trump. Known for his MAGA support, Ye had a brief friendship with Trump in 2022. Despite a contentious meeting at Mar-a-Lago, where Ye suggested Trump be his deputy for a 2024 presidential run, he remains a staunch supporter.
8. Dennis Quaid
Actor Dennis Quaid has been cautious about expressing his political views but commended Trump’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite identifying as an independent, Quaid appreciated Trump’s travel ban, describing it as a "great idea" and showcasing his occasional alignment with Trump's policies.
9. Amber Rose
Model and activist Amber Rose, initially critical of Trump, changed her stance by posting a photo with Trump and his wife Melania in May, captioning it with "Trump 2024". Although her shift surprised many, her subsequent comments aligning with anti-trans rhetoric have sparked controversy.
10. Kevin Sorbo
The star of 'Hercules: The Legendary Journeys' and 'Andromeda', Kevin Sorbo, attributes the decline of his acting career to his Christian faith and conservative views, claiming Hollywood "blacklisted" him. Sorbo's support for Trump remains firm, with his social media posts championing "MAGAnomics" and criticizing left-wing policies, indicating his continued endorsement.
