Arnold Schwarzenegger he’s a proud Republican, but he makes it clear that he puts his country first over party lines.

Former actor and governor of California APPROVED Vice-President Kamala Harris on Wednesday as he harshly criticized the former president Donald Trump. In his statement about XSchwarzenegger described Trump as “a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it’s for him” and pointed to his failure to promote policies that benefit the general public.

Despite his distrust of most politicians and his dissatisfaction with the current political climate, Schwarzenegger emphasized the need to “close the door on this chapter of American history,” supporting Harris and her running mate, the governor of Minnesota. Tim Walz.

With just five days until Election Day, here’s a closer look at Schwarzenegger’s relationship with the Republican nominee.

Schwarzenegger on The new celebrity apprentice

The feud between the two dates back to Trump’s first term, when Schwarzenegger took over his prized show, The Celebrity Apprenticein 2015.

In 2017, after Trump mocked the ratings of the rebooted show, titled The new celebrity apprenticejoked Schwarzenegger, “Hey Donald, I’ve got a great idea. Why don’t we change jobs?”

Schwarzenegger eventually cut ties with the series later that year. Talking to Empire website, finished star said he wouldn’t mind working with NBC and the producer Mark Burnett again, “on a show that doesn’t have this baggage.”

Schwarzenegger votes blue for the first time

Schwarzenegger revealed he would not vote for the Republican nominee for the first time in 2016 when Trump faced off Hillary Clinton in the presidential elections.

“For the first time since I became a citizen in 1983, I will not be voting for the Republican nominee for president,” Schwarzenegger said. “As proud as I am to label myself a Republican, there is one label I hold above all else: American.”

He also condemned the deadly riots on January 6, 2021 at the Capitol, calling on Americans to support then-President-elect Joe Bidenwho won the 2020 election despite false claims of voter fraud by Trump and other right-wing figures.

“President-elect Biden, we wish you the best of luck as president,” Schwarzenegger said shortly after the violent attack. “To those who think they can overturn the United States Constitution, know this: You will never win.”
