Actor Dennis Quaid urged Americans to choose between “being a nation of law and order or wide open borders” in November. The Hollywood star made his call during Donald Trump’s rally in Coachella, California on Saturday. He stated that the issues at play in the 1980 election between former President Ronald Reagan and former President Jimmy Carter are comparable to those present today. It’s time to pick a side,” Quaid told thousands of attendees.
The actor, who is known for playing the role of former President Ronald Reagan in a film released on August 30, 2024, received an impressive “98 percent audience approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes,” as well as an “A” on CinemaScore.
