Chris Pratt Faces Backlash Over Election Neutrality

Chris Pratt has faced backlash for his neutral stance on the 2024 US Presidential election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. In an op-ed for Maria Shriver's website, Pratt urged Americans to remain unified and avoid extreme reactions to the election results, drawing parallels to sportsmanship. His call for moderation was criticized by some fans, who viewed it as a lack of commitment to pressing social issues. Pratt's stance contrasts with his Marvel co-stars who publicly endorsed Harris, and his absence from their endorsement led to speculation about his political leanings. Critics argue that his neutral position fails to address critical issues at stake, such as reproductive rights and racial justice. Despite the criticism, Pratt maintains that his message was about unity and moving forward as a nation.
