Jake Paul endorses Donald Trump, encourages voter action ahead of election

Jake Paul endorses Donald Trump, urging followers to “think for yourself” and vote as Election Day approaches.

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has publicly endorsed Donald Trump in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, encouraging his followers to research candidates and vote. 

In a video posted on social media, Paul acknowledged his initial hesitation in taking a political stance. “I’m nervous and scared to make this video,” he admitted, citing the divisive nature of endorsements. Despite moving to Puerto Rico and forgoing his own right to vote, Paul emphasized, “Just look at the facts. Think for yourself. Don’t be a sheep in this world full of sheep... for the love of God. Go exercise your right to vote on my behalf, and vote for Donald Trump in this election. America depends on it.”

Paul’s endorsement adds to the list of celebrity figures weighing in as Election Day approaches. He joins recent endorsements by public figures like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Buzz Aldrin, each voicing their preferences amid the highly polarized 2024 presidential race. Although Paul cannot vote himself, he shared various reasons, opinions, and statistics he feels support Trump’s campaign, urging viewers to inform themselves before casting a ballot.

Paul’s statement comes less than a week before the election, as other celebrities and athletes are also making their endorsements public. With his extensive online following, Paul’s message aims to energize voters, especially those who may still be undecided. The former boxer’s message underscores the heightened attention the election has received, with both major candidates receiving vocal support from high-profile figures as Americans prepare to head to the polls.
