Danica Patrick Backs Trump, Moderates Event

Danica Patrick, a former NASCAR and IndyCar driver, announced she will vote for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, marking her first time voting. Patrick revealed her decision on social media and in an interview with Fox News, describing Trump as the 'rational, reasonable choice,' and expressing her belief in his potential to 'make America greater than it’s ever been.' She also moderated a town hall event with Trump's running mate, JD Vance, indicating her active involvement in the campaign. Patrick explained her previous lack of political engagement was due to her focus on racing and a personal rule that she could not voice opinions on elections without participating. Additionally, she commented on the gender divide in voting for Trump, attributing women's hesitancy to his personality, which she argues is not a sufficient reason to dismiss him as a candidate. Her support contrasts with other celebrity endorsements for Kamala Harris, including Willie Nelson, Lizzo, and Cher.
