In a new ad from the progressive evangelical group Vote Common Good, George Clooney encourages male voters to vote for Harris/Walz in the upcoming election, even if their Republican friends may not approve. The ad features a man at a polling place who changes his vote to Harris after seeing his daughter nearby, emphasizing the confidentiality of voting. The ad also highlights a similar ad narrated by Julia Roberts urging women to exercise their right to choose in the voting booth.
Doug Pagitt, the executive director of Vote Common Good, explains that the goal of both ads is to empower voters to break with their Republican friends and family members, despite the pressure from the MAGA movement. The organization was founded in 2018 as a progressive response to Trump’s support among conservative evangelical Christians, aiming to challenge the traditional voting patterns in this demographic.
Overall, the ads emphasize the importance of individual choice and standing up for one’s beliefs in the voting booth, regardless of external pressures. With high-profile actors like Clooney and Roberts lending their voices to the campaign, Vote Common Good hopes to inspire voters to vote for change in the upcoming election.
