"During the first Trump administration, I felt like I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. But as we've learned, election after election, celebrities do not make a difference whatsoever on who people vote for. So then what am I doing? I'm just sharing my opinion on something that's going to add fuel to a fire that's ripping the country apart."
"Because he said what he was going to do. We knew what he did for four years. He was very clear. And that's what we chose."
"I'm terrified. It's mortifying. What's happening is no less than a genocide"
Jennifer Lawrence says she no longer feels it appropriate to speak out against the Trump administration to avoid adding fuel to national divisions and because celebrities do not change voting outcomes. She recalls frantic activism during Trump's first term and questions the value of public political statements. Lawrence previously voted Republican then shifted Democratic, supporting Biden in 2020 and Kamala Harris in 2024 for reproductive-rights protections. She notes Trump's clarity about his intentions and voters' choices in his first term. Lawrence is promoting the film Die, My Love and expresses fear and outrage at Israel's bombings in Gaza, calling it genocide.
