Zachary Levi Endorses Donald Trump After Supporting RFK Jr.: "He’s Going to Get Us There"
Actor Makes a Political Shift
Zachary Levi, the star of Shazam!, officially endorsed Donald Trump for president during a rally in Michigan on Saturday. This endorsement comes after Levi previously expressed support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) throughout the summer, making a notable political shift as he navigates the 2024 presidential landscape.
Levi’s Political Journey
At the rally, Levi shared insights into his upbringing and political beliefs, stating, “I grew up in a family that was Christian conservative… my parents were Kennedy Democrats that then turned into Reagan Republicans.” He emphasized the importance of having a “healthy level of distrust for the government,” a principle that has guided his political views.
Previously, Levi praised RFK Jr., declaring him “the best we’ve had in a long time.” However, with Kennedy’s exit from the race at the end of last month, Levi felt compelled to reassess his political stance.
Reflections on RFK Jr.
During his speech, Levi expressed regret over RFK Jr.’s departure from the race. “I thought, ‘Man, this guy is it. He’s the real deal.’” However, he acknowledged the current political reality, stating, “We live in a very broken world… We want to stop [the country] from going off the cliff.”
A Call for Unity Behind Trump
Levi voiced his support for Trump as a means to reclaim the nation’s direction. He articulated, “We’re here to make sure that we are going to take back this country… I stand with Bobby, and I stand with Tulsi, and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump.” He believes that Trump possesses the qualities necessary to lead the nation effectively, backed by the wisdom and experience of leaders like RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.
Levi’s Career Highlights
In addition to his role in Shazam!, Levi is known for voicing Flynn Rider in Disney’s Tangled and will appear in the upcoming film Harold and the Purple Crayon. His political endorsements and public statements reflect a growing trend of celebrities engaging in political discourse, influencing public opinion and mobilizing their fan base.
