US Election Polls 2024: As the 2024 election cycle intensifies, the list of high-profile endorsements for both major presidential candidates reflects a divided celebrity landscape. While Hollywood traditionally leans Democratic, with stars rallying behind Kamala Harris, a number of prominent figures from the entertainment and sports worlds have thrown their support behind Donald Trump. For some, this endorsement marks a continuation of a relationship they’ve maintained since Trump’s earlier campaigns.
The Republican National Convention this year saw familiar faces among the celebrity attendees, as some stars continued to voice their backing for Trump’s current run. Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady, UFC President Dana White, and NBA legend Dennis Rodman are among the notable names that have repeatedly shown support for the former president. Many of these long-standing endorsements come from personal connections with Trump or an alignment with his policies.
Tom Brady - The former New England Patriots quarterback was known to have a friendship with Trump, and a "Make America Great Again" hat was once spotted in his locker.
Dennis Rodman - The former NBA star endorsed Trump and has ties from his time on Celebrity Apprentice.
Dana White - The UFC president expressed support for Trump, noting their long-standing business relationship dating back to Trump’s hosting of UFC events.
Johnny Damon - The former MLB player and Celebrity Apprentice participant voiced his support, stating he wanted Trump as president.
Paul O'Neill - The former New York Yankees player endorsed Trump during a rally.
Mike Tyson - The boxing legend suggested that America should be run like a business, citing Trump’s experience in business as a qualification.
