Secret ballot drama: New Clooney ad stirs up pre-election discussions

A new-wave political ad featuring George Clooney hits TV screens just days before the Nov 5th election‚ pushing a non-standard message to male voters (who might want to keep their ballot choices private from pro-Trump friends)

The thirty-second spot‚ made by a left-leaning christian group shows men at a voting place; where one guy faces a tough choice between following his friends MAGA chant or listening to his heart. Clooneyʼs voice guides the scene: “Before you cast your vote in this election think about how it will impact the people you care about the most“

This follows an earlier spot with Julia Roberts that got mixed feedback — it showed women keeping their votes secret from pro-Trump husbands. Fox News host Jesse Watters didnt like it one bit: his response was pretty strong

If my wife lied about her vote‚ its the same as having an affair

Jesse Watters stated

The timing isnt random; recent polls show Trump leading by 18-points with men while Harris has got a 16-point edge with women. Doug Pagitt‚ who runs the group behind these ads says its ok to vote differently than your friends and family

The ad push comes as Harris could make history — shes focused a lot on womens rights but hasnt made her gender the main thing. Meanwhile Clooney‚ whos been backing Democrats for years wrote earlier this year that Biden wasnt up to the job anymore: thats why weʼre seeing Harris at the top of the ticket now
