Former NASCAR and IndyCar driver Danica Patrick has branded celebrity endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris from the likes of Taylor Swift and Eminem as “survival” ahead of the 2024 Presidency campaign where Harris is going up against Donald Trump.
Patrick shared her perspective in a reposted Instagram reel which discusses celebrity endorsement of the Vice President. The former driver simply commented:
“Watch it to the end. [Kamala’s] support is not a passion, it is survival.”
The reel Patrick shared, originally from Lennie Moreno, claimed that many celebrities who have voiced support for Harris have yet to follow through with any of their public appearances and that their support is not authentic. Moreno questioned such actions, labeling them as “non-organic.”

He also noted that actor Leonardo Di Caprio, who has supported Kamala Harris, has connections to controversial celebrity figures, such as Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Patrick has openly supported Trump in the upcoming 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. However, she recently revealed that this is the first time she has voted. She explained, as previously reported by Newsweek Sports:
“I just want to say I’ve never voted before, but this time around, I have to vote. It’s that important.
“The person that runs this country should ultimately be running it very much like a business. I can’t really think of a better businessman than Donald Trump,” Patrick said.
“A guy like that who has been in business as long as he has, he’s gonna go into that room and he’s gonna get stuff done. That’s what we need, a president who is actually going to make changes happen.”
Patrick also made a speech at a Trump rally in Las Vegas.
“People didn’t like that. People looked at me like I was some radical right-wing MAGA. MAGA has got this awful connotation to so many people and you know what? All it did was light a fire,” she commented.
“I will not be judged to live in America, be a proud American, say ‘I love America’, and want to make America great again. I won’t be judged for it. Instead of quieting down, I am gonna get louder!
“I was raised in a middle-class family. My parents love their garden; they still do. But my parents instilled really good values in me. Instilled values to dream really big, to be honest, and to work hard.”
