LOS ANGELES – Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced Wednesday that he is supporting Vice President Kamala Harris for president in the 2024 election.

“I share this with all of you because I think many of you feel the same way as me. They don’t recognize our country. And you’re right to be angry,” Schwarzenegger said wrote on X.

The “Terminator” star said that while he supports the Democratic presidential candidate, he will “always be an American before I’m a Republican.”

“That’s why I’m voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz this week,” he said.

Schwarzenegger then took aim at former President Donald Trump, telling his millions of followers that “rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets.”

“For someone like me, who talks to people all over the world and still knows that America is the shining city on a hill, calling America a dumpster for the world is so unpatriotic that it makes me angry,” he said, referring to Trump’s comments last week in Arizona when he compared the United States to a “garbage bin for the world.”

He further described Trump as “a candidate who doesn’t respect your vote unless it’s for him” and “a candidate who has shown no ability to commit to passing any policy other than a tax cut that would benefit his donors and… helped other rich people like me, but didn’t help anyone else.

Schwarzenegger added that Trump is a “candidate who thinks that Americans who disagree with him are bigger enemies than China, Russia or North Korea.”

“This will not solve our problems,” he wrote. “It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results, making us increasingly angry, divided and hateful.”

“We must close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know former President Trump will not do that. He will divide, he will offend, he will find new ways to be even more un-American than he already has been, and we the people will get nothing but more anger,” he added.

But Schwarzenegger said that while he supports Harris and has some hardline views on Trump, he doesn’t agree with Democrats on everything.

“At the moment I don’t like any party. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, running up deficits and rejecting election results. Democrats are no better at managing deficits, and I worry that their local policies could harm our cities with increased crime,” he wrote.

“I want to move forward as a country, and while I have many disagreements with their platform, I think that is only possible with Harris and Walz,” he explained.

“Vote this week. Turn the page and leave this garbage behind. And even if you disagree with me, vote because that’s what we do as Americans,” he said.

Schwarzenegger is the latest prominent Republican to endorse Harris and Walz.

The growing list includes former Vice President Dick Cheney, former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, and senior officials of George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan and John McCain, many of whom served under Trump.
