Former Republican CA governor, actor, and immigrant goes on record for Harris.

 HuffPo posts of Arnlod Schwartzenegger endorsing Harris, reluctantly, because she is to him the only real option - one he is lukewarm about. Below, HuffPo quoting his X.com post.

 ................

“We should be pissed! But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems,” Schwarzenegger wrote.

“It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful. We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger. That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you.”

That quote stands by itself, HuffPo links to the original, and there is no need to say more. He was Governor of California, and he speaks in the capacity of one who had to govern a large economy as well as he could.
