Kamala Harris Ad Assures Men Their Vote Is Private
A new ad aimed at getting Vice President Kamala Harris elected reminds men that their vote is private and they can vote for Harris.
The ad, paid for by Vote Common Good, a religious nonprofit aimed at urging religious people to vote Democrat, begins with two male friends walking into the voting center together.
“Come on, boys. Let’s make America great again,” one of the men says to another, referencing former President Donald Trump’s campaign slogan.
As the ad shows one man contemplating his vote while in the voting booth, the narrator, actor George Clooney, says, “Before you cast your vote in this election, think about how it will impact the people you care about the most. Remember, you can vote any way you want and no one will ever know.”
After the man votes for Harris, his daughter runs up to him and they hug. The man assures his friend that he did his “patriotic duty.”
“What happens in the booth stays in the booth,” Clooney says at the end of the ad. “Vote Harris/Walz.”
The ad is a gender-swap from a previous ad narrated by actor Julia Roberts aimed at women. That ad, also paid for by Vote Common Good, shows women decked out in patriotic gear voting for Harris. After she’s done voting, a man in a ball cap with a bald eagle on it, who is perceived to be her husband, asks her if she made the right choice.
“What happens in the booth stays in the booth,” Roberts says at the end of the ad. “Vote Harris/Walz.”

Trump criticized Roberts for her role in the ad. On Saturday, he called into “Fox and Friends” and said he was “disappointed” in Roberts.
“She’s going to look back on that, and she’s going to cringe,” he said. “‘Did I really say that?’ It doesn’t say much for her relationship, but I’m sure she has a great relationship.”
He continued: “But the wives and the husbands, I don’t think that’s the way they deal. Can you imagine a wife not telling a husband who she’s voting for? Did you ever hear anything like that? Even if you have a horrible — if you had a bad relationship, you’re going to tell your husband. It’s a ridiculous ad. So stupid. She’s gonna look back someday, she’s gonna say, ‘Did I really make that?’”
