Renowned Hollywood actress, Sally Field, recently made her return to social media with two Instagram posts over the weekend. In one of the posts, she criticized former President Donald Trump while endorsing Kamala Harris as a vote for “democracy.” She encouraged her followers to support the Democratic ticket led by Harris and Tim Walz, emphasizing the importance of voting for their country, children, and grandchildren, as well as the earth, women’s rights, human rights, and democracy. Field expressed her hope that a vote for this ticket would bring about a better future for all.
Despite Kamala Harris not participating in the Democratic primary process this election cycle, she still found herself replacing Joe Biden on the party’s presidential ticket when Democrat leaders and donors urged the sitting president to withdraw from the race due to his declining poll numbers following a debate performance. In response to this change, the messaging of the Democratic Party shifted away from themes like “democracy” towards more nebulous terms such as “joy” and “freedom.
Sally Field, a two-time Oscar winner, also made her return to Twitter (now known as “X” by some) after nearly a two-year absence. She expressed concerns about the new ownership of the platform but felt compelled to reengage with her fans amidst the current global turmoil. Field is not yet verified on Instagram, but she will be shortly.
The endorsement of Kamala Harris by Sally Field highlights her support for the Democratic party and its values, as well as her belief in the importance of voting in the upcoming election. Her call to action underscores the significance of participating in democratic processes and exercising one’s right to vote.
