Leonardo DiCaprio Endorses Kamala Harris, Bashes Trump on Climate Change
Leonardo DiCaprio has endorsed Kamala Harris for president.
In a video posted to Instagram, the Oscar-winning actor discussed the damage of recent hurricanes Helene and Milton, saying “these unnatural disasters were caused by climate change.”
“Donald Trump continues to deny the facts. He continues to deny the science. He withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Accords and rolled back critical environmental protections,” DiCaprio said. “Now he’s promised the oil and gas industry that he’ll get rid of any regulation they want in exchange for a billion-dollar donation.”
He added, “Climate change is killing the earth and ruining our economy. We need a bold step forward to save our economy, our planet and ourselves. That’s why I’m voting for Kamala Harris.”
DiCaprio said that Harris “helped lead the most significant climate action in U.S. history, including passing the inflation Reduction Act,” and he noted her goals to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and build a green economy “that not only creates jobs, but also helps save our planet.”
“Join me in voting for Kamala Harris on Nov. 5, because we cannot afford to go backwards,” the actor concluded.
An outspoken environmental advocate, DiCaprio did not outright endorse Joe Biden in the 2020 election but attended a fundraiser for the president in Los Angeles. Ahead of the 2016 election between Hillary Clinton and Trump, DiCaprio urged the audience at the now-discontinued Hollywood Film Awards to “vote for people who believe in the science of climate change.”
