Millions of Americans will cast their votes for Donald Trump and Kamala Harris today in what has become the closest election in decades.

As the rivals have focused their efforts on securing votes in the battleground states that could determine the outcome of the election, Hollywood A-listers have been hoping their endorsements can sway the public.

Showbiz royalty, including Oprah and Beyoncé, have accompanied Harris, 60, on stage at her campaign events, urging voters to turn up at the polls. 

Trump, 78, received the backing of firebrands such as Tesla CEO Elon Musk, former WWE star Hulk Hogan and Joe Rogan, who delivered a last-minute endorsement of Republican candidate on the eve of Election Day.

While it is debatable what affect celebrity endorsements actually have on voters, more than two dozen stars have weighed in on this year’s historic race.

takes a look at who the A-listers are voting for as Americans head to the polls today…

Voting for Kamala Harris 

Beyoncé 

Beyoncé appeared on the campaign trail for Kamala Harris in Texas two weeks ago  during a rally aimed at highlighting the perilous medical fallout from the state’s strict abortion ban and putting the blame squarely on Trump.

The singer signaled her support for the Vice President almost immediately after Harris announced her candidacy in July – by allowing the vice president to use her song Freedom in her campaign ads and at rallies.

She also threatened to send a cease-and-desist to the Trump campaign after the same song was used in Trump’s social media.

Oprah

Oprah Winfrey travelled across the country to appear at the final rally of Harris’ 2024 campaign.

She joined Harris in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on the eve of Election Day, wearing a t-shirt that read ‘Yes she can’.

Winfrey said voting for Harris is a vote for ‘values and integrity’, for ‘the right to choose what happens to our own bodies’, and for ‘healing over hate’. 

She also issued a stark warning to the crowd, urging them vote. ‘If we don’t show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again,’ she said.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift threw her support behind Harris in September just moments after the presidential debate where Trump accused migrants of eating pets and said Democrats wanted to ‘execute babies’ in the ninth month of pregnancy. 

Swift poked fun at Republicans in her endorsement by including a photo of her cat, a knock at Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance who mocked ‘childless cat ladies’.

‘I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,’ she wrote in September. She signed her post ‘childless cat lady’.

Harris supporters took the chant to heart and formed groups of cat ladies for Harris. 

The singer also said in her post that she was disturbed by false reports she had endorsed Trump. 

Swift made a final push for Harris Monday night as she marked the last show of the American leg of her Eras tour. 

She shared a collection of photos from her show in Indianapolis, Indiana on her Instagram page, as well as issuing an important message urging fans to vote today.

George Clooney

George Clooney first threw his support behind Harris in July, just two weeks after was a nail in the coffin of Joe Biden’s bid for re-election.

The Hollywood A-lister and big Democratic fundraiser wrote a scathing article for the New York Times saying Biden could not win the ‘battle against time’ and needed to move on.

Two weeks later he was thanking Biden for stepping out of the way, likening the move he helped foist on the commander in chief as ‘saving Democracy’ – and said he was excited for Harris and her ‘historic quest’. 

His New York Times op-ed was published less than a month after Clooney raised $30million at a fundraiser for Biden’s re-election campaign.

The star doubled down on his endorsement of Harris this week by narrating a controversial ad released by left-wing Christian organization Vote Common Good.

The ad, which is seemingly part of the Harris campaign’s quest for ‘secret’ voters, featured a male voter who cast his ballots for her without telling his Trump-supporting buddies.

The ad urged men to consider how voting for Trump would affect the women in their lives. 

Harrison Ford 

Harrison Ford made a rare presidential endorsement just days before the election in which he detailed his support for Harris and tore into Trump.

The Indiana Jones actor said: ‘I’ve been voting for 64 years, never really wanted to talk about it very much, but when dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms, saying ‘for god sake don’t do this again’, you have to pay attention. 

‘They’re telling us something important, these aren’t soft people. They are governors, generals, standing up against the leader of the party they spent their lives advocating for.’

Ford explained in some cases people will be voting Democrat for the first time in their life over fears of Trump winning the race to the White House. 

In another clip released in collaboration with the Harris campaign, Ford said that he didn’t agree with them on every policy, nor does he think they’re perfect.

He added: [But] these two people believe in the rule of law. They believe in science. They believe that when you govern, you do so for all Americans.

‘They believe that we are in this together. These are ideas I believe in. These are people I can get behind.’  

The Star Wars actor noted he was frustrated with aspects of the country but warned: ‘The other guy, he spent four years turning us against each other while embracing dictators and tyrants around the world.’

Bruce Springsteen 

Bruce Springsteen officially endorsed Harris in earlier October and launched an extraordinary attack on Trump.

The 75-year-old rocker made his presidential election preference known by posting a video to Instagram, which he appeared to have filmed from a diner.

Sporting a flannel button-down jacket, Springsteen warned that Trump represented ‘the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.’

He added that Trump ‘doesn’t understand the meaning of this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American.’

Springsteen further demonstrated his support by appearing at Harris’ star-studded rally in Philadelphia last week, saying that he feels Trump ‘is running to be a tyrant’ in his campaign for a second term in the White House. 

Bad Bunny

Bad Bunny made his voice known last week after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s offensive joke calling Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage’ at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally. 

He shared a video on Instagram showing Harris saying ‘there’s so much at stake in this election for Puerto Rican voters and for Puerto Rico.’ 

The artist then shared another part of the clip where Harris says, ‘I will never forget what Donald Trump did and what he did not do when Puerto Rico needed a caring and a competent leader.’

A representative of the artist also confirmed that Bad Bunny is supporting Harris. 

Will Ferrell

Will Ferrell was recruited by the Harris campaign in a last ditch effort to convince voters to head out to the polls on Tuesday to vote for her.

In a short, 30 second clip, Ferrell attempts to use scare tactics as he states how during the 2020 presidential election Biden only managed to keep Trump out of office by just a ‘few thousand votes’.

Last week, Ferrell teamed up with comedian Billy Eichner as part of a final push for votes by the Harris campaign with the videos pulling in more than 100 million views so far.

Eichner and Ferrell took to the streets of New York as ‘loud white men for Kamala,’ wearing matching t-shirts.

The pair screamed in the faces of several New Yorkers walking down the streets asking them who they were voting for and if they would ‘sleep with a Trump voter.’

Arnold Schwarzenegger 

The Terminator star and former GOP California governor made a rare presidential endorsement of Harris just six days before the 2024 election. 

The former Republican Governor of California – who refused to vote for Trump in 2016 – announced that he will be voting for Harris and Tim Walz.

In his endorsement, the actor wrote: ‘I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.’

Along with his endorsement, the actor made a blistering assessment on Trump – and predicted the havoc he would wreak if he was to become president again.

He and Trump have feuded since Schwarzenegger stepped in to replace Trump on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ when he ran in 2015.

Jennifer Lopez 

Jennifer Lopez introduced Harris at a Las Vegas rally that also included a performance by the pop band Maná. 

Lopez, in emotional remarks, talked about her background as a Puerto Rican and emphasized the importance of women for the Democratic nominee, who had just arrived after a separate rally in Reno.

‘I believe in the power of women,’ Lopez said. ‘Women have the power to make the difference in this election.’

Lopez also pushed back at comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally called Puerto Rico ‘a floating island of garbage.’

‘You can’t even spell American without Rican,’ she said. ‘This is our country too.’

She first doubled down on her support of Harris in her Instagram stories after Hinchcliffe’s set went viral.

Lady Gaga 

Lady Gaga finally revealed who she will be voting for on Sunday – just two days ahead of the US presidential election. 

‘It’s time to get ready to vote,’ the 38-year-old pop diva – who boasts 233.1 million social media followers – announced.

‘I’ll see you guys in Pennsylvania’ she added, teasing her appearance at Harris’ Philadelphia final rally on November 4. 

Gaga was one of the stars who performed at Harris’ multi-city rally on the evening before the election, where she sang God Bless America before warning the audience ‘the country is depending on you’.

Aubrey Plaza 

The Parks and Recreation star surprised fans by recreating Taylor Swift’s Instagram post endorsing Harris. 

The 40-year-old actress took to social media in September to share that she plans on voting for Harris, 59, as well as upload a cheeky snap of her posing with the late Grumpy Cat sitting in her lap. 

‘HARRIS WALZ,’ the actress captioned a photo of herself from 2014 with the beloved celebrity cat, who passed away in 2019. 

Anne Hathaway

More than 20 years after she belted out the iconic Queen song ‘Somebody To Love’ in her 2004 film Ella Enchanted, Hathaway did so again in a star-studded event called Broadway for Harris. 

She took to the stage following her appearance at The Apprentice premiere and insisted that she was voting for Harris, adding she was going to ‘make a little space tonight’ for the undecided voter.

She wanted the undecided voter to ‘contemplate a question they might be struggling with,’ before singing the first line to the 1976 hit: ‘Can anybody find me/Somebody to love?’

Towards the end of the performance, she went on to make a brief impassioned plea for everybody to vote on November 5.

‘America, the day we have to be free is November 5. We’ve got a big choice to make, America, and you do have to make a choice, you do have to vote,’ she said to applause. ‘And maybe in this election… maybe the somebody you love, is you. You’ve got to vote for yourself, America,’ Hathaway said.

She finished the song to raucous applause from the crowd, blowing kisses to the audience and starting a Kamala chant before heading off the stage.

Ricky Martin

Ricky Martin publicly endorsed Harris after an offensive joke about his native Puerto Rico at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.

Sharing a clip from the rally, Martin wrote: ‘This is what they think about us. Vote for Kamala Harris.’ 

Nick Offerman

If there were any doubts who the Parks and Recreation and Last of Us standout was voting for, he made that very clear over the summer, posting a parody of the Lee Greenwood song ‘God Bless the USA’ – Donald Trump’s favorite – for a new song in support of Kamala Harris titled ‘Proud to be a Kamala Man’. 

The 54-year-old Joliet, Illinois native introduced the clip while standing in a woodsy area, clad in a gray shirt baring an image of a bald eagle. 

Ariana Grande 

Ariana Grande threw her support behind Kamala Harris in October by telling her 376 million Instagram followers that she has already voted for the Democratic nominee.

Grande, 31, posted a selfie on her stories, revealing that she has already cast her ballot for Harris, 60, through Florida’s early voting program.

The popstar, overlaying her post with a clip from Beyoncé’s hit song ‘Freedom’, which has become an anthem for the Vice President’s campaign, encouraged her followers to turn up to the polls by sharing a sticker that says ‘your vote matters’.

Marc Anthony

Puerto Rican superstar Marc Anthony, 56, endorsed Kamala Harris in a video – one day after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe was blasted for branding Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage’ at Donald Trump’s Oct. 27, Madison Square Garden rally.

In the video, Jennifer Lopez’s ex-husband said: ‘I’m here to tell you that even though some have forgotten … I remember. I remember what it was like when Trump was president. I remember what he did and said, about Puerto Rico.’

Mel Brooks

After making a rare political endorsement for Joe Biden in 2020, the Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein comedy legend, 98, posted a photo of himself and his dog.

He wrote: ‘I don’t have a cat, so a dog will have to do! But like Taylor Swift I’m all in for @KamalaHarris & @Tim_Walz! #VoteBlue.’ 

Cardi B 

Calling Donald Trump a ‘bully,’ the outspoken WAP rapper found herself in an awkward moment at a Milwaukee, Wisconsin, rally for Kamala Harris last week due to teleprompter issues. 

Reading from her cell phone instead, she said: ‘I wasn’t gonna vote this year,’ before adding that Harris taking over as the Democratic nominee changed her mind. 

‘She’s passionate, compassionate… and most of all she is not delusional.’ 

LeBron James 

Speaking to reporters in the locker room last week, the Los Angeles Lakers star said: ‘Well I was going to do it the day of the game in Cleveland, but I didn’t want to overshadow me and [son] Bronny going back home. 

‘That’s when I planned on doing it. Yesterday seemed a good day, everything was kind of silent. And I wanted to make sure it was seen, heard and heard with force.

‘So having a daughter, having a wife, mother, things of that nature that she believes in when it comes to women’s rights and when it comes to the future of my kids and where I see where our country should be, I feel like that endorsement is only right.’

Lizzo

Lizzo sparked an uproar after she promised that America would look like Detroit if Harris was elected to the White House. 

The Juice singer, 36, who hails from the Motor City, appeared at a rally with Harris there. 

The star, real name Melissa Viviane Jefferson, said: ‘I’m so proud to be from this city, you know they say if Kamala wins then the whole country will be like Detroit. 

Jimmy Kimmel 

Jimmy Kimmel is obviously supporting Harris – because he is a sworn enemy of Donald Trump. 

But his attempt to sway Republicans with a 19 minute anti-Trump monologue last week backfired with viewers. 

The talk show host delivered a special plea to those thinking of voting for the former president, in which he promised to avoid, ‘liberal virtue signaling’. 

But the almost 20 minute rant ended up irritating some viewers so much they pledged to vote Trump anyway, just to spite Kimmel. 

Mindy Kaling 

The Office and Mindy Project star has been a vocal supporter of Harris and is one of the film and TV stars who attended the DNC in Chicago. 

Howard Stern 

Howard Stern, 70, reinvigorated his long-running feud with Donald Trump in September, with the self-proclaimed ‘King of All Media’ saying he ‘hates’ anyone who voted for the former president. 

The two New Yorkers once got along famously, with Trump being an infamous, recurring guest on Stern’s long-running radio show, but Stern has soured on Trump since he entered politics. 

Weeks later he had Kamala Harris on his Sirius-XM show.

Olivia Rodrigo 

‘Drivers’ License’ pop singer and former Disney star Olivia Rodrigo, 21, endorsed Kamala Harris in a posting to her Instagram story in July.

And last week captioned an Instagram video with abortion rights activist Hadley Duvall for her 38.2 million followers: ‘Stories like Hadley’s are exactly why this election is so important. 

‘A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for a national abortion ban and a vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for reproductive freedom.’

Alec Baldwin 

Alec Baldwin, who won an Emmy Award for playing Donald Trump on SNL, recently returned to the late night sketch show to play Fox News host Brett Baier interviewing Maya Rudolph’s Kamala Harris. 

He had been absent from the show and since replaced in playing Trump for a couple of seasons after he was criminally charged in the on-set death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his film Rust in 2021.

Leonardo DiCaprio

The Departed star, a longtime climate activist, endorsed Harris in a video posted to his Instagram last month, as he praised the Democratic nominee for her ambitious goals of achieving net zero emissions by 2050 and building a ‘green’ economy. 

He cited the devastation wrought by hurricanes Helene and Milton – which the Titanic star called ‘unnatural disasters caused by climate change’ as a reason for an aggressive climate policy as he slammed Trump for pulling out of the Paris climate accord. 

Jennifer Lawrence 

Pregnant Jennifer Lawrence joined Nevada democratic volunteers and canvassed for Kamala Harris ahead of election day, in Las Vegas, last week. 

The 34-year-old Oscar-winning actress — who initially endorsed Harris for president back in late September — hit the campaign trail and went door-to-door persuading undecided voters to cast their ballot for the democratic nominee on November 5.

Dave Bautista 

The Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel movies star and former WWE wrestler mocked Trump as weak and overweight in a video Jimmy Kimmel’s show last month. 

It begins in a boxing ring, where Bautista shows off his physical prowess and declares, ‘Fellas, we got to talk.’ 

Julia Louis-Dreyfus 

Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus hosted a panel at the Democratic National Convention this year and has previously supported the Biden-Harris administration. 

The Seinfeld actress also insisted her character on the HBO comedy-satire Veep was nothing like the current veep. 

‘I played a character who was a woman, but who also hated being a woman and didn’t want to define herself as a woman because she thought it wouldn’t be an asset,’ Louis-Dreyfus said of her Selina Meyer role. 

Azealia Banks 

Azealia Banks says she is now voting for Harris in today’s election, after previously saying she was voting for Trump.

The 33-year-old musical artist cited Trump’s alliance with tech billionaire Elon Musk as a key factor in her decision to switch her vote in a series of lengthy tweets Monday.

She took a number of shots at Musk’s ethics and business tactics, adding that ‘one does not become the richest man in the world because of honesty and good character’.

Banks did not give a glowing endorsement of Harris, calling the vice president ‘stupid and incoherent’ and describing her running mate Tim Walz as ‘trash.’

She said she was reluctantly endorsing Harris ‘despite the fact that [she] is the only Democratic Nominee to not have actively [campaigned] in a Primary.’

Banks described Harris’s path to the Democratic presidential nomination ‘the most undemocratic s*** ever,’ adding that it ‘really says alot about her supporters lack of commonsense.’

The musician, who has been outspoken about her disdain for the Tesla founder in the past, again cited Musk in her conclusion, saying that she ‘will be Voting For Kamala Harris tomorrow’ as Musk ‘belongs no where near American Politics.’

Banks in November of 2023 said she was planning to vote for Trump, telling The Standard that she felt ‘way safer’ where ‘everyone carries a gun.’

Voting for Donald Trump 

Elon Musk

Elon Musk has spent at least $119 million mobilizing Trump’s supporters to back the Republican nominee. 

His social media platform, X, has become a firehose of pro-Trump propaganda and he has played a starring role in Trump-style rallies in critical battleground states.

Musk endorsed Trump following an attempt on the former president’s life last summer.

‘I feel more optimistic about it with a Trump White House than a non-Trump White House,’ said the Tesla and Space X billionaire. 

Trump has mused that Musk could have a formal role in a future Trump administration that focuses on government efficiency – an enormous conflict of interest given Musk’s companies’ vast dealings with the government.

Musk has even offered to help develop national safety standards for self-driving vehicles, alarming auto safety groups, which also worry that he could interfere with investigations of Tesla.

The billionaire and his political action committee have also been running a $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes in swing states.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, a Democrat, sued Musk and his pro-Trump political action committee, America PAC, last week, calling the $1 million awards ‘an illegal lottery scheme.’ 

But a Pennsylvania judge declined on Monday to halt the scheme after a daylong hearing featuring Musk’s lawyers and prosecutors. 

Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan, who hosts one the world’s most popular podcasts, delivered a last-minute endorsement of Trump on Monday night.

He threw his support behind the Republican nominee while promoting the latest episode of his show, The Joe Rogan Experience, which featured an interview with billionaire Trump supporter Elon Musk.

Musk ‘makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way,’ Rogan wrote on social media. ‘For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump.’

Rogan, a former mixed martial arts commentator, is known for his virile, combative and anti-politically-correct style, and his podcast is especially popular among men.

Male voters are a key demographic for Trump. He appeared on Rogan’s show for a nearly three-hour-long interview last month.

Harris reportedly held talks with Rogan in recent weeks to also appear on his podcast, but an interview never materialized.

Kanye West

Kanye West, whose questionable public stunts have included bringing Holocaust denier white supremacist Nick Fuentes to a dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, remains a MAGA fan. 

He and his wife Bianca Censori were cheered by demonstrators at a gathering in support of Trump in Beverly Hills in August.

The rapper, who supported Trump during his time in the Oval Office from 2016 to 2020, reaffirmed his commitment to the GOP nominee earlier this year.

‘Of course, it’s Trump all day!’ he told reporters in February.

Jake Paul

Jake Paul publicly endorsed Trump in an 18-minute video message earlier this week.

The boxer, who rescinded his right to vote when he recently moved to Puerto Rico, laid out why he wanted Trump to be president over Harris in the lengthy clip.

Among many topics he brought up the economy, border control and even transgenderism as issues that have swayed his thinking.

Paul also told his fans that ‘God has sent me here to tell you this message,’ while encouraging them to do their own research. ‘Look at the facts. Think for yourself. Don’t be a sheep in this world full of sheep,’ he said.

He made one final plea to the American public on the eve of the much-anticipated election, urging them to vote for Trump and not to trust ‘evil’ Harris.

In two posts on X, the YouTuber-turned-boxer warned America that the country will enter a ‘long and treacherous’ era if Harris becomes president this week.

‘This election is good vs evil,’ he wrote in his first message. ‘America as we know it will self implode if Harris wins – It will be the start of a long & treacherous American era’.

He also debunked Harris’s promise to reinforce abortion rights if she wins the election, insisting the Democratic nominee does not have the power to do so. 

Dennis Quaid

Dennis Quaid, 70, joined Trump at a campaign rally he held at Calhoun Ranch in Coachella, California last month — after announcing he would vote for Trump in May — telling the crowd to ‘pick a side.’

The actor declared the presidential election this year is a vote between TikTok and the United States Constitution. 

‘I’m here to tell you that it’s time to pick a side,’ he said. ‘Are we going to be a nation that stands for the Constitution or for TikTok?’ 

Quaid also lamented the loss of a nation that used to have ‘cheap cash’ and was ‘exporting oil to our allies and our friends.’ 

Brittany Mahomes

The wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, sparked a liberal meltdown in August when she was caught liking a post about Republican candidate Trump, especially amid her friendship with Trump-foe popstar Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of Chiefs star Travis Kelce.

Despite many fearing their opposing political stances could cause bad blood between the WAGs besties, Taylor and Brittany have put on a united front, enjoying a day out at the US Open and New York City double dates with their footballing beaus.

Hulk Hogan

Wrestling legend Hogan gave a rousing, tank top-ripping speech for Trump at the Republican National Convention. 

And Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, ripped into Kamala Harris at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally last week, telling ‘Trumpamaniacs’ that the Republican nominee is the ‘only man that can fix this country’.

The retired wrestler claimed that Harris was responsible for inflation and the southern ‘border invasion’.

‘When I hear Kamala speak, it sounds like a script from Hollywood with a really, really bad actress. Kamala is responsible for the border crisis. Kamala is also responsible for inflation. She acts like she’s the victim,’ he said. ‘And then all of a sudden, she flips, she flops, she spins and turns around and acts like she was going to be the d**n hero.’

Hogan added: ‘But we all know Trump is the only man that can fix this country today, and with Trump as our commander in chief, peace through strength will fix all of our problems in the Middle East.’ 

He also clapped back at Democrats comparing the event to a Nazi rally in 1939.

‘I don’t see no stinkin’ Nazis in here,’ he told the crowd.

Jason Aldean 

The country music star dedicated a July performance of his hit ‘Try That in a Small Town’ to Trump at a concert in New Jersey, hours after a 20-year-old gunman attempted to take the former president’s life.

Aldean, in turn, made his allegiance known, cementing his status as a Trump supporter.

The song used to do so has surfaced as the 47-year-old’s smash hit since its release last year, despite some claiming it contains coded endorsements of racism and lynching.

Aldean has denied these claims, and appeared to hit this point home as he made his performance Saturday particularly political.

Buzz Aldrin 

Buzz Aldrin, 94, who walked on the lunar surface right after Neil Armstrong in 1969, endorsed Donald Trump last month, citing how America needs a ‘a proven, serious, and tested leader.’ 

The legendary astronaut wrote in an address that Trump’s previous term reignited America’s interest in space, pushing for NASA to return the moon and venture to Mars.

Amber Rose  

Amber Rose revealed in May that she was endorsing Trump, sparking outrage among her fans. 

She shared a photo of herself posing with Trump and his wife Melania at a black-tie event. Rose stated in the caption, ‘Trump 2024 ususus,’ which lead to a slew of backlash from fans in the comments. 

Rose has long been an advocate for women’s rights – creating Slutwalk in 2015 in an effort to end rape culture and victim blaming.

The model and rapper also set social media abuzz at the RNC when she said in a primetime speech that Trump is ‘the best chance we have to give our babies a better life.’

Brett Favre 

Former NFL quarterback and Green Bay Packers QB legend Brett Favre has been backing Trump for political office for nearly a decade.

Trump rallied alongside Favre in the critical battleground state of Wisconsin with just six days until the election. 

Favre praised Trump before the former president arrived, telling the crowd, ‘Much like the Packer organization, Donald Trump and his organization was a winner.’

‘The United States of America won with his leadership,’ he said.

Favre, who won three NFL Most Valuable Player awards and a Super Bowl for Green Bay in the 1990s, also recently  after the president labeled Trump supporters ‘garbage’.

Roseanne Barr

The former mainstream TV sitcom icon has long been a Trump supporter. 

In April, she delivered a blistering routine on why female soldiers were better than men before describing herself as a ‘hateful’ Jew and sarcastically thanking Christians for their understanding of Judaism in an event for Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake. 

Kelsey Grammer 

Another sitcom legend, Frasier and Cheers star Grammer made waves when he publicly reiterated his support for Trump while promoting the Frasier reboot in a radio interview last December.

Zachary Levi

In an Instagram Live video last month, Zachary Levi stressed that there’s a lot that he doesn’t like about Trump – but following the end of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign, he’s turned his support to the former president. 

Speaking passionately from what appeared to be a hotel room, Levi said: ‘My cry to all of you out there, you closeted conservatives, closeted Trump voters, y’all, it’s now or never, you know what I mean?

‘Do whatever you feel like you need to do. If you need to come out publicly and say it, if you feel like you still can’t, then don’t.

‘I would never pressure you to do that, but know that if what you’re afraid of is somehow the backlash of an industry that’s not going to exist very soon, then don’t let that hold you back,’ the Chuck star added.

Earlier on in the video, Levi said: ‘I have been very vocal about my dislike for [Trump]. He gets lost in his ego so quickly, I f**king despise it!’ before later saying: ‘He puts his f**king foot in his mouth all the time and I hate it!’

However, Levi stressed that it’s not enough for him to vote Democrat because there is ‘massive corruption’ in the current government.

‘It’s sh**ty that we only have two to choose from right now, but that’s all we have,’ he continued before claiming Kamala Harris is ‘only going to be puppeted’ if she wins the election on November 5.

When Levi first endorsed Trump publicly in September and described Hollywood as a ‘very, very liberal town,’ Whoopi Goldberg spoke out live on an episode of The View and disagreed with his statement and claimed ‘it’s always been a very right-leaning town.’

Levi clapped back to this during his Instagram Live and pointed out that Goldberg, 68, was only able to name actors Jon Voight and Dennis Quaid as examples out of the thousands working in Hollywood today. 

He also added actors like them seem to only come out as Republican when ‘at a certain level of your career to get away with it.’

Kevin Sorbo

The outspoken Hercules star branded Hollywood men ‘bumbling, useless idiots’ with a ‘misunderstanding of masculinity.’ He is a staunch conservative and Trump backer. 

Kid Rock 

The longtime supporter of Donald Trump performed his song ‘American Bad Ass’ for the 2024 Republican National Convention with modified lyrics to show his support for the former president, who watched on during the Milwaukee RNC closing night.

He previously said of Trump during his successful 2016 Presidential run: ‘I’m digging Trump. I feel like a lot of people, whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, feel like if you get Hillary or Bernie, or you get Rubio or Cruz or whoever, there’s going to be the same s**t.

‘Has that much f*****g changed when anyone’s in office, whether it’s been a Republican or a Democrat in office, in our lifetime, anyway? I haven’t really seen this big, like, f*****g change. Obviously some people f****d up.

‘That’s a long debate. My feeling: let the motherf*****g business guy run it like a f*****g business. And his campaign has been entertaining as shit.’

Dean Cain 

The TV Superman predicted that Donald Trump’s ‘iconic’ fist pump response immediately after his attempted assassination will secure his reelection. 

‘The way that President Trump reacted, that shows his character. It’s one of the most iconic moments we’ll ever find – the photo of him with a flag behind him, even upside down, a nation in distress with blood and saying ‘fight, fight fight!” he told DailyMail.com.

As a former police officer himself who has a lot of military friends, Cain said true character shines through when you survive a shooting.

‘I think he displayed the kind of courage and character that he really has, that a lot of people saw for the first time, and I think it’s gonna affect their votes. I sure hope it does,’ he told DailyMail.com. 

Russell Brand

The controversial comedian, 48, said on his ‘Stay Free With Russell Brand’ podcast back in June that he was supporting Trump over Joe Biden, who was then still the presumptive Democratic nominee. 

He later appeared, newly baptized, with Tucker Carlson to support Trump over Harris.

Introducing him to fans, Tucker said Russell was one of the people he ‘most admires’ and at the end of the show bowed his head as Brand knelt and gave a communal prayer without notes.

‘I pray in your name that the forthcoming election be an opportunity for unity for America and Americans’, the comedian – who was once a supporter of British hard-left socialist Jeremy Corbyn – said.

He went on to pray for God to guide and forgive the ‘dark and demonic forces that appear to operate at the level of the state, the deep state and the corporate and global world’, asking that they ‘experience your light lord’.

Mel Gibson

The canceled movie star was spotted at the Los Angeles airport in October and laughed off a question about who he was voting for in 2024.

‘Oh man, that’s a big question. I don’t think it’s gonna surprise anyone who I vote for,’ he told TMZ in a rare public spotting.

After confirming that Trump was a ‘pretty good guess,’ he suggested that he knew ‘what it’d be like if we let her in,’ referring to Harris.

‘That ain’t good: miserable track record, appalling track record, no policies to speak of and she’s got the IQ of a fence post,’ Gibson said.

Gibson has been critical of both major political parties throughout his career. He said he voted for neither major candidate in 2016.

The actor called Bill Clinton a ‘low-level opportunist’ in the 1990s and was vocal against George W. Bush’s wars in the Middle East in the 2000s.

In 2016, however, he said he did not vote for Trump or Hillary Clinton.

In 2021, Gibson saluted Donald Trump in the crowds at the UFC clash between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor.

John Schneider 

The political stance of the avowed Joe Biden hater could not be more clear. 

He drew backlash after posting: ‘Mr. President, I believe you are guilty of treason and should be publicly hung,’ about the Democrat last year. 

‘Your son too. Your response is..? Sincerely, John Schneider.’ 

Lil Wayne 

Rapper Lil Wayne was pardoned by Trump on his way out of the White House, on the evening of Jan. 19, 2021, dodging prison for a firearms conviction after voicing support for the then-president during his failed re-election bid. 

The artist, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr, could have faced 10 years in prison.

Harrison Butker 

Controversial Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker said he is voting for Trump based on the key issue of abortion. 

‘I’m supporting the president that’s going to be the most pro-life president,’ he said while at a campaign event in Missouri for U.S. Senator Josh Hawley. 

Butker sparked outrage by giving a polarizing commencement speech at Benedictine College back in May. 

Kodak Black

Rapper Kodack Black, whose real name is Bill Kahan Kapri, spent two years in a federal penitentiary after being convicted of making a false statement in order to buy a firearm in 2019 before he became a free man thanks to Donald Trump.

 He was one of the dozens of pardons Trump issued the week before leaving office in 2021. But the Tunnel Vison rapper was arrested again three years later in Florida 

50 Cent 

Rapper 50 Cent claimed Donald Trump’s campaign offered him $3million to perform at his Madison Square Garden rally – but he turned it down.

The musician, who has not formally endorsed the former president but is known to be supportive of him, said he tried to avoid politics. 

‘I’m afraid of politics… because when you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you,’ he said on Power 105.1 radio’s The Breakfast Club morning show. 

‘I stay away from religion, I stay away from politics.’ 

The performer, real name Curtis Jackson, added: ‘That’s the formula for the confusion that sent Kanye to Japan.’

Dana White

UFC Chief Dana White is close friends with Trump. He also spoke at his Madison Square Garden rally last week. 

And he blasted Harris in postings on X, saying her potential presidency should ‘scare the s***’ out of people after she appeared on Late Night with Stephen Colbert. 

Tucker Carlson

The ousted Fox News host has been an ardent supporter of Trump and in the past year a confidant, even sitting next to the former president at the RNC and campaigning across the country for him. 

But his commentary has veered into weird territory many times, most recently at a rally in Georgia last month where he creeped out many attendees by saying of Trump to the crowd: He’s p****d! Dad is p****d. And when dad gets home, you know what he says? ‘You’ve been a bad girl’.’

Danica Patrick 

Former NASCAR race-car driver Danica Patrick, who is voting for the first time, claims putting Trump back in the White House is ‘the most important decision we will see in our life’.

Patrick also addressed Proposition 36, which aims to bolster criminal punishments for drugs and shoplifting in California. 

Specifically, Patrick took issue with Harris’ refusal to tell reporters how she voted on her early ballot in her native California. 

She campaigned for Trump in the battleground state of Pennsylvania and launched a brutal attack on Harris and her celebrity guest speakers – and stuck the knife in by saying she ‘never went to a Diddy party’.

‘Now I’m speaking. I’m not paid to be here. I don’t have a teleprompter. I’m winging this right now, everybody. I don’t need a telephone,’ she said, referencing rapper Cardi B who endured teleprompter issues at her speech for Harris before eventually reading her words off a phone.

Patrick continued: ‘I never went to a Diddy party. I’m doing this because I love this country and there’s nobody that’s been tested more than Trump.’

Here are some of the other high-profile names to back or say they are voting for Donald Trump: 

Steve Mnuchin (his former Treasury Secretary), RFK Jr., Bryce Hall, Dr. Phil, golfer John Daly, The Passion of the Christ star Jim Caviezel, reality star Savannah Chrisley, SNL alums Victoria Jackson and Rob Schneider.

The list also includes, Joe Exotic (jailed and still bucking for that pardon), rappers Lil Pump, Sexyy Red and Da Baby, crooked former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino and, of course, MSG insult comedian Tony Hinchcliffe.
