Paul Rudd supports young voters, hands out water to students waiting in long lines in Pennsylvania

Paul Rudd handed out water to students in Pennsylvania voting lines, applauding their commitment to casting ballots.

Actor Paul Rudd surprised students at Pennsylvania universities on Election Day, distributing water bottles to those enduring long waits at polling locations.

In Philadelphia, MSNBC’s Jacob Soboroff encountered Rudd at Temple University, where students had been waiting for hours to vote. Rudd shared, "I just wanted to give people water. They’re waiting in line for a long time, and it’s a wonderful thing that all these young people are out voting

When Soboroff mentioned that some students had been in line for up to two hours, Rudd expressed admiration, saying, "That’s impressive." Rudd added that his team had been actively involved in the area to support student voters, emphasizing, "We wanted to come out and tell these students they’re doing really great things." When asked about the election itself, Rudd humorously deflected, saying, "I feel good about handing out some waters!"

The light-hearted interaction continued as Rudd handed a bottle of water to a first-time voter who was enthusiastic about her decision to participate. The actor’s outreach extended beyond Temple, with images shared on social media showing Rudd at Villanova University, further demonstrating his commitment to supporting youth voter engagement. This initiative mirrors his efforts during the 2020 election when he provided cookies to voters waiting in rain-soaked lines in Brooklyn, New York.

Rudd’s participation highlights the encouragement of youth voting as essential, particularly in swing states where student turnout could significantly influence the results.
