Schwarzenegger, the former Republican governor of California, said he is voting for Harris.

“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.”

Rihanna

The Diamonds singer is not eligible to vote because she does not have US Citizenship, but she made it clear that she was on Kamala Harris’ side.

She implored her 150 million Instagram followers who could vote to head to the polls and then engaged in several heated exchanges with online “Trump trolls” in her comments section.
