Zachary Levi, widely recognized for his role in “Shazam!”, has recently made headlines for publicly voicing his support for Donald Trump. During a speech at the Reclaim America Tour in Michigan, the 44-year-old actor revealed that, while he had initially supported Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his endorsement now lies with Trump, not Vice President Kamala Harris.
Levi’s speech touched on his upbringing, noting how his political views were shaped by his parents, who were originally Kennedy Democrats but later became Reagan Republicans. Levi reflected on this shift, using it as a backdrop to explain his evolving political stance.
As Levi began his address, he invited the audience to participate in a brief exercise, asking them to turn to the person next to them and say, “I’m really glad that you’re alive and you’re here right now.” He explained, “That’s called love and that’s called unity.” Levi emphasized that the event was about fostering unity among all people, regardless of their political affiliation. “Whether you’re a Democrat, whether you’re a Republican, whether you’re a libertarian or an independent, every single one of us is a child of God,” he remarked, underscoring his message of inclusivity.
Levi also revisited the influence of his parents’ political journey. “My parents were Kennedy Democrats who then turned into Reagan Republicans,” he shared, adding that they instilled in him “a healthy level of distrust for the government” as well as skepticism toward unchecked industry power. This sentiment formed the basis of his political philosophy, leading him to explore various candidates.
The actor admitted that, for a long time, he struggled to find a politician who embodied his ideals. He recounted, “I was searching for a candidate who represented everything I wanted to see in a President. This year, I thought I found that in Bobby Kennedy. I believed he was the real deal.” Levi expressed his admiration for RFK Jr., stating that, in an ideal world, he would have voted for him.
However, Levi acknowledged that the current political landscape is far from ideal. “We don’t live in a perfect world,” he said, adding, “We live in a broken one, a country that’s been hijacked by people who want to drive it off a cliff. And we’re here to stop that.” Levi’s message resonated with his audience, reinforcing his alignment with those who support Donald Trump.
In conclusion, Levi made it clear that while he respects RFK Jr., his ultimate endorsement is for Trump. “I stand with Bobby, and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump,” he declared, solidifying his position in the ongoing political discourse.
