Film star and former Republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says he will vote for Democrat Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election, he writes in a post on X.
The Austrian former bodybuilder says that the most un-American thing he can think of is to reject the election result, and that he is first and foremost an American – and then a Republican.
"That's why I will vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz this week."
Schwarzenegger says that his time as governor of California taught him to love what can be achieved through politics, but to hate politics itself.
"Let me be honest and say that I don't like any of the parties now. Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, they have incurred deficits and discarded election results. Democrats are no better when it comes to deficits, and I'm worried that their local politics harm our cities with increased crime,” writes Schwarzenegger.
