All the celebrities who have endorsed Trump for president, from Elon Musk to Jake Paul
With only one day until the 2024 Presidential Election, both campaign trails have heated up as each candidate makes a desperate final bid for the White House.
While the race remains deadlocked in several battleground states, according to national polls, Vice President Kamala Harris continues to be the favored choice among celebrities who fear another four years under Trump would lead to damning consequences for the country.
Still, some big-name Hollywood stars, athletes and musicians have – in the words of Shazam! actor Zachary Levi – risked “career suicide” to proclaim their support for the Republican candidate.
From tech billionaire Elon Musk to NFL star Harrison Butker, here’s a list of all the celebrities who have endorsed Trump for president.
Jason Aldean
Following the first attempted assassination of Trump in July, country star Jason Aldean, 47, posted the now-famous photo of Trump with a bloodied ear raising a fist in defiance, writing: “This is what a warrior looks like. This is my guy.”
He then dedicated his controversial hit, “Try That in a Small Town,” to the Republican nominee at a Nashville, Tennessee concert. “President Trump’s a friend of mine so I want to send this next song out to him,” he told the crowd.
Kodak Black
Rapper Kodak Black, 27, paused a September concert to address the former president’s allegations that Haitian immigrants are eating pets in Ohio while also reaffirming his support of Trump.
“That s*** crazy,” he said to the crowd. “I’m gonna go to Springfield tomorrow, I’m going over there. I’ve got to. I gotta see this s***. I ain’t smelling that. I say ‘Vote for Trump’, I say that, but I ain’t see no Haitian eat no cat, homie.”
Russell Brand
On a June episode of his self-hosted Stay Free with Russell Brand podcast, the contentious British actor and comedian, 49, told listeners that if “you care about freedom, I don’t know how you could do anything other than vote for Donald Trump for precisely the reasons that they claim that you can’t.”
Harrison Butker
The controversial Kansas City Chief kicker, Harrison Butker, 29, publicly announced his support of Trump on an early October segment of Fox’s The Ingraham Angle show, saying: “I think Donald Trump is the most pro-life president.”
Butker, who is a devout Catholic, has been outspoken about his anti-abortion stance. At Benedictine College’s 2024 graduation, he declared “abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values and media” were a byproduct of “the pervasiveness of disorder.”
Jim Caviezel
Person of Interest star Jim Caviezel, 56, who previously declared Trump “the new Moses,” put his full support behind the candidate in July, tweeting: “I fully endorse Trump for President of the United States 2024.”
Savannah Chrisley
Reality TV star Savannah Chrisley, 27, spoke at the mid-July Republican National Convention (RNC), pledging her support for Trump.
“Donald J Trump has only one conviction that matters,” she told attendees. “And that is his conviction to make America great again.”
Joe Exotic
The Tiger King star and convicted felon Joe Exotic, 61, officially suspended his presidential candidacy in August to “fully Endorse Trump for 2024.”
“He has been my man for years,” he wrote on X in August. “Harris will get us all killed if Biden doesn't sooner.”
Brett Favre
NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre, who supported Trump in 2020, appeared in a local Pennsylvania TV ad endorsing him once again this year.
“Just look at the situation today,” he said in the ad. “Pennsylvania, we can’t take a chance. We need a strong leader, and I believe Donald Trump is the right choice to protect our families and restore world peace. So join me and vote Trump.”
The former Green Bay Packer quarterback, 55, is expected to campaign with Trump at his Wednesday (October 30) rally in Wisconsin.
Mel Gibson
Braveheart actor Mel Gibson, 68, made headlines last week after he voiced his support of Trump while bashing Harris, saying she’s “got the IQ of a fence post.”
“I know what it’ll be like if we let her in. And that ain’t good. Miserable track record. No policies to speak of,” he toldTMZ.
Kelsey Grammar
Kelsey Grammer – best known for his title role on the classic sitcom Frasier and its new reboot – disappointed some fans when first revealed he was pro-Trump during a 2019 Radio 4 appearance.
In a more recent interview with the BBC in 2023, Grammer brusquely confirmed he remained a supporter of Trump. The interviewer later claimed that a Paramount PR person prevented Grammer from talking any further about Trump, despite the actor being “perfectly happy” to do so.
Hulk Hogan
Former professional wrestler Hulk Hogan took the stage alongside Trump at his recent New York City rally at Madison Square Garden.
The 71-year-old made his entrance to his “Real American” theme song while waving the American flag. He then attempted to rip his shirt from his own chest, a routine that he has done since the 1980s. However, he ended up getting into a tussel with the shirt, prompting mockery online.
Victoria Jackson
Saturday Night Live alum Victoria Jackson, 65, implored her fans to “vote Trump” in an Instagram video shared on October 24, calling it a “no-brainer.”
“I’m pro-life, I believe in secure borders, law and order, I believe in our taxpayer money going to help our citizens who just got hit by the hurricanes not house illegals in apartments and feed them,” she said. “I believe in freedom of speech and freedom of religion and I do not believe in global Marxism.
Caitlyn Jenner
“I voted,” Caitlyn Jenner, 75, wrote on X on November 3. “Even in ‘blue’ California. CA has far more Trump supporters thatn [sic] you’d imagine! No matter how blue you think your state is – VOTE!”
Alongside the message, the Olympic gold medalist and reality star included a picture of her ballot with the bubble next to Trump and JD Vance filled in.
Kanye West
The problematic rapper has once again thrown his support behind Trump. When asked by papparazzi in February if he would be voting for the former president, 47-year-old West said: “Yeah, of course, it’s Trump all day.”
Zachary Levi
Shazam! star Zachary Levi endorsed Trump for president after his first choice, Robert F Kennedy Jr, dropped out of the race in August.
“We’re here to make sure that we are going to take back this country, we are going to make it great again, we are going to make it healthy again,” he said at Trump’s Michigan rally the following month. “President Trump is the man that can get us there.”
Dr Phil McGraw
Also joining Trump at his MSG rally was Dr Phil McGraw, the popular psychologist and sociologist, who endeared TV viewers for years on his eponymous Dr Phil talk show.
Appearing in front of thousands of attendees, McGraw, 74, gave an impassioned speech, saying that he was “not here just to stand up for Donald J Trump. Lord knows he doesn’t need me to stand up for him. He’s tough as an old army boot. He’s got lots of enemies, different groups that are scared, and between them, they have impeached him, indicted him, raided him, railroaded him, shot him and sued him. And where is he? He is still standing.”
Drea de Matteo
Emmy-winning Sopranos star Drea de Matteo has come out as a supporter of Trump, announcing in a recent Instagram Story that she voted for the Republican nominee.
“We voted for ourselves. We the people,” the Desperate Housewives alum, 52, wrote. “You n me with the justice league in place to drain the fckn neocon/corporate swamp.”
In another post, while wearing a “TRUMP 2024” shirt, she added: “F*** your feelings.”
Elon Musk
Tech billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has already donated over $75m to the Trump campaign. He has also made several guest appearances at Trump rallies, going viral earlier this month for jumping up and down on stage at a Pennysylvania event.
“I think this election is the most important election of our lifetime. This is no ordinary election,” Musk, 53, told rallygoers. “President Trump must win to preserve the Constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America. This is a must win situation, must win.”
Danica Patrick
Last week, former NASCAR and IndyCar driver Danica Patrick took to social media to celebrate her first time voting.
“I made a rule for myself that if I didn’t vote I could not have an opinion about the outcome, because I didn’t earn that right,” the 42-year-old Sky F1 pundit wrote on Instagram. “Not this time. I voted for @realdonaldtrump and I can’t wait to have him make America great again!”
Jake Paul
YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul endorsed Trump in a 20-minute video shared on social media. He explained that while he rescinded his right to vote after moving to Puerto Rico in pursuit of becoming a boxing world champion, “that doesn’t mean I can’t present my 80 million large audience with proper facts, numbers and data to enroucage them to vote in the proper direction to quite literally save America.”
Slamming the “liberal” media for painting Trump as a “bad guy,” the 27-year-old influencer added: “I’m not concerned with Donald Trump’s character flaws or what he’s done in the past. What I’m concerned with is how good of a president he is. Because that is his job and that is what’s going to affect the people of this nation.”
Dennis Quaid
The Parent Trap star Dennis Quaid declared his support for Trump at an October 12 California rally.
“We were a nation in decline. That’s what they told us. Ronald Reagan came along and said, no, we’re not a nation in decline. We’re going there. And we followed him,” Quaid, 70, told the crowd, pointing upwards. “The same with Trump, with President Trump. My favorite president of the 21st century.”
Kid Rock
Perhaps one of Trump’s most loyal supporters has been country singer Kid Rock, who’s appeared alongside him at several of his rallies.
Ahead of the RNC, in which he performed his 2000 hit “American Bad Ass,” the “All Summer Long” singer, 53, tweeted a video of himself, saying: “We just touched down in Milwaukee to support our tried and true, red white and blue, 100% American badass president… God bless Donald Trump and God bless America.”
Rob Schneider
On Sunday (October 27), Democrat-turned-Republican Rob Schneider proudly endorsed Trump on X.
“I PROUDLY SUPPORT DONALD J TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!” The Hot Chick actor and comedian, 60, wrote in all caps.
Jon Voight
Trump’s friend and longtime supporter Jon Voight has continually urged fellow Americans to vote red.
“My fellow Americans, we are now in a time of the darkest plague ever, and our chance – our only chance – is this November to vote for the President of the United States of America Donald J Trump for 2024,” the Midnight Cowboy actor, 85, said in a recent video posted to X.
He further accused his Hollywood peers of trying to “brainwash” the American people to “do the most dangerous vote ever – Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.” Slamming the Democratic ticket as the most “vile” and “corrupt” choice, he added: “You must see the lie and vote for the only one who will save our country and make her safe again, thrive again and bloom again – Donald J Trump.”
