US ELECTION 2024
Donald Trump’s celebrity supporters: Who are the famous names behind the Republican candidate?
Here are the famous faces supporting the Republican ahead of the US election.
We are deep into election territory now, and the final pushes from the two candidates - Kamala Harris and Donald Trump - are coming to an end before it turns to the people of the USA to decide which way their country goes.
Support from both sides has been huge and celebrity endorsements can swing voters one way or another: respected public figures have huge influence on their fans and their views can often nudge people one way or another.
Kamala‘s huge celeb support has been well documented, with names such as Will Ferrell, LeBron James and someone called Taylor Swift (I haven’t heard of her either) endorsing the Democrat. But what about Trump? Which famous faces have come out in support of the former media personality?
Which actors and singers have supported Trump?
Actors Mel Gibson, Dennis Quaid and Jon Voight have all expressed support, while musicians such as Kid Rock, Kanye West, Sexyy Red, Amber Rose, DaBaby, Lil Wayne and Azealia Banks have publicly declared their support for the Republican.
Away from the world of entertainment, billionaires like Steve Wynn have supported Trump and presumably his tax cuts to the rich, while his donors include tens of billionaires Bill Ackman, Marc Andreesen, Dan Snyder, Linda McMahon, Diane Hendricks, Miriam Adelson and Kelcy Warren.
Trump has also publicly thanked Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Patrick Mahomes, for “defending him” on social media. Her husband Patrick has not endorsed a candidate.
But Trump’s biggest public supporter has been Twitter destroyer Elon Musk, who has appeared at various rallies, dancing and jumping around like a fan brought on stage to play guitar at a rock concert. A real spaceman, Buzz Aldrin, has also made his intentions clear of voting for Trump and Vance.
What sport stars Have Endorsed Trump?
Ex fighters Mike Tyson and Hulk Hogan have declared their support for Donald, while pretend fighter Jake Paul has also done the same.
In the NFL, San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Nick Bosa, and Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker have also endorsed the 45th President.
Former New York Giants duo Lawrence Taylor and Ottis Anderson, as well as former Pittsburgh Steelers names Le’Veon Bell, Antonio Brown and Mike Wallace appeared alongside Trump at a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
