Kamala Harris secures new star-studded array of endorsements ahead of Election Day

Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday received endorsements from multiple prominent people, including billionaires, sports icons, and movie stars.

The endorsements come less than one week before Election Day on Nov. 5, and as the race for the Oval Office appears to come down to a handful of swing states, including Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina.

Billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorsed the vice president in an op-ed on Thursday, where he stated that although he did not always agree with Harris, he voted for her earlier this week "without hesitation." 

“As I’ve thought about the candidates in this presidential election, I’ve been guided by two main considerations: policy positions and personal integrity,” he wrote. “When it comes to policy, the contrast could not be clearer." 

The billionaire also noted that on personal integrity, it was also an easy decision because former President Donald Trump is "not fit for high office." 

"Strong leaders accept defeat, out of honor and duty. He has shown he has no sense of either," Bloomberg said of Trump.

Basketball legend LeBron James also endorsed Harris, stating in a video posted to social media that the "choice" for president was clear for him.

"When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me,” James wrote in a post accompanying the video. “VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!” 

The cast of the Marvel movies "The Avengers" also assembled together for a video endorsement of the former California Attorney General. The cast included Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Don Cheadle, Paul Bettany, Danai Gurira, and Chris Evans.

We're back. Let's #AssembleForDemocracy. In the #ElectionEndgame, every vote counts 🗳️ #VoteBlue! Vote Kamala Harris [and] Tim Walz," Ruffalo posted in a thread on X on the group's behalf. "Don’t sit this one out. It’s the one where we will lose big: Project 2025, women’s reproductive rights, climate change, LGBTQIA+ rights, public education, student debt relief, Affordable Care Act, Social Security, and as of today, life saving vaccines.

"This s*** is real and it’s going to come for you," he continued. "Take 3 friends and know, no matter what you are a hero. Always give it all."

The endorsements come a day after former California Gov. and Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsed Harris, despite being a Republican. 

"To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious," the former governor said in a post to X. "I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz."
