With members of the “Avengers” cast, NBA superstar LeBron James, and Madonna voicing support for Kamala Harris, and Jake Paul releasing a pro-Donald Trump video, more celebrities are weighing in on the 2024 presidential race.

On Oct. 31, “Avengers” stars Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Don Cheadle, Danai Gurira, and Paul Bettany endorsed Harris in a video.

Madonna shared on Instagram that she flew back from Paris to vote for Harris. Lakers star LeBron James, a known Trump critic, endorsed Harris, stating that “the choice is clear” when he considers the future for his children and family.

Social media influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul endorsed former President Donald Trump in an 18-minute-long video posted Thursday. The 27-year-old said his goal was to provide information to “the potentially undecided voter,” encouraging people to vote based on facts and their own research, rather than relying on media influence.

“Even if you hate me for making this video, my message to you is I love you, ” he added. “I have friends that are Democrats and Republicans, and we all go about our lives in one harmony.”
