'Road House' Actor Sam Elliott Demands Voters Support Kamala Harris

In a new ad from The Lincoln Project, Sam Elliott's iconic voice tackles gender bias in voting head-on.

Known for his roles in several movies and television shows, the "Tombstone" actor delivers a no-nonsense message in the voiceover, peppered with some colorful language, urging Americans to back Kamala Harris as the nation's first female President.

The Lincoln Project, a group of ex-Republican consultants, has built a reputation for its direct, hard-hitting ads aimed at opposing Donald Trump’s agenda.

With Trump once again leading the GOP ticket, Sam Elliott uses his signature tone to confront the ongoing debate and demand voters to support Kamala Harris.

In a press release, The Lincoln Project emphasized their goal of reaching voters who may have backed Biden but are hesitant about casting a vote for Kamala Harris. Through Elliott’s voiceover, the ad conveys that the stakes of the upcoming election are too significant to let personal biases cloud sound decision-making.

“What the hell are you waiting for?” Elliott said in the ad. “If it’s the woman thing, it’s time to get over that. It’s time for hope, for change. It’s time to be a man and vote for a woman.”

“I can’t believe we’re having this conversation again,” he added. “So here we go.”

Elliott urged voters to consider redirecting their support toward Kamala Harris instead of returning to the Trump era. His message suggests that moving forward, rather than looking back, is the best course for the country.

“You know what’s at stake,” the actor said in the ad. “One candidate promises a divided America filled with lies and hate. And one stands for change.”

As images of Trump in black and white appear, Elliott is heard saying, “Kamala Harris has more courage, more honor, more guts than this guy ever had."

The 80-year-old actor, famous for his signature down-home delivery in Westerns and other film and TV roles, urged voters to embrace the "courage" of Democratic nominee Kamala Harris while steering clear of the "lies and hate" associated with Donald Trump.

As the ad concludes, the "Road House" actor told viewers, “You decide, are we really going back down that same f-cking broken road? Or are we moving forward?”

Elliott delivered a similar ad for President Joe Biden a few years ago.

Actress Fran Drescher took to TikTok a few months ago, posting an animated video set to the iconic theme song of her hit show "The Nanny." In the video, Drescher showed her support for Kamala Harris, with playful lyrics like, “She’s got brains, she’s got balls and Tim Walz/She’ll soon be President Harris.”

Pop star Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas, a songwriter and producer, also released a video, this time for National Voter Registration Day. In the clip, Billie shared that they both plan to vote for Harris and Walz, stating, “because they are fighting to protect our reproductive freedom, our planet, and our democracy.”

Olivia Rodrigo showed her support for Vice President Kamala Harris by sharing a video of the VP’s speech, where Harris vowed to “stop Donald Trump’s extreme abortion bans.”

Perhaps one of the biggest celeb endorsements Kamala Harris has received was from "22" singer Taylor Swift.

"Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most," Taylor wrote in an Instagram post shortly after the debate ended. "As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country."

"I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election," she continued. "I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them."

After declaring her support for Kamala Harris, the pop sensation also highlighted Harris' running mate, Tim Walz, emphasizing his strong stance on LGBTQ+ rights and IVF policies.
