Jennifer Aniston casts ballot for Biden, says ‘It’s not funny' to vote for Kanye West
She’s already there for Biden and Harris.
Jennifer Aniston has endorsed Joe Biden for president, and she’s urging her 35.7 million Instagram followers to do the same — and not to vote for Kanye West.
The “Friends” star took to social media Friday to explain why she cast an early vote for the Democratic ticket.
“I voted for them because right now this country is more divided than ever. Right now, a few men in power are deciding what women can and can’t do with their own bodies,” the 51-year-old Hollywood star wrote on Instagram, next to a photo of herself, as she exercises her constitutional right to vote.
Wearing sunglasses, a face mask, a scarf and blue sweatpants, Aniston is seen dropping her ballot inside an official ballot drop box location in West Hollywood.

“Our current President has decided that racism is a non-issue,” she wrote. "He has repeatedly and publicly ignored science... too many people have died.”
Aniston also urged her Instagram followers to consider the segments of the population that will most be affected by the outcome of this year’s election: “your daughters, the LGBTQ+ community, our Black brothers and sisters, the elderly with health conditions, and your future kids and grandkids (who will be tasked with saving a planet that our leadership refuses to believe is hurting).”
The election, in fact, is not just about a single issue, or candidate, she said. “It’s about the future of this country and of the world. Vote for equal human rights, for love, and for decency.”
The 2003 Emmy Award-winner for best actress in a television comedy also noted that not everything is a laughing matter.
“It’s not funny to vote for Kanye. I don’t know how else to say it,” she wrote. “Please be responsible.”
Her message quickly went viral, receiving more than 1.8 million likes in just two hours.
Aniston’s advocacy was also praised by a number of fellow a-listers.
Supermodels Naomi Campbell and Poppy Delevingne, as well as actors Billy Eichner, Ashley Benson and another famous Jen, Jennifer Garner, were among the first celebrities to express their approval — mostly by commenting with emojis.
Comedian Whitney Cummings had a question for Aniston, instead.
“What’s the logic to the tying of this scarf?” she wrote.
