Celebrities have weighed in on the 2024 presidential race in a variety of ways, with some of the biggest names in sports and Hollywood hoping their backing can move the needle this November.

Reggaeton singer Nicky Jam—who took the stage at a Trump rally in September where the former president misgendered him in an introduction in which he said “She’s hot!”—on Wednesday renounced his support, making him the latest in a series of Puerto Rican artists to speak against Trump after a comedian at a rally called the territory an “island of garbage.”

Jam said in an Instagram video he’d supported Trump because he thought his economic plans would benefit Latinos, but that “Puerto Rico deserves respect” and he would no longer support the Republican

Body builder, actor, billionaire and former Republican governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsed Kamala Harris in a social media post Wednesday in which he disparaged both parties and said, “I hate politics more than ever.”

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the second man to ever walk on the moon, endorsed Donald Trump for president while praising his support of space exploration while in office, including the creation of the Space Force as a military branch of the U.S. armed forces focused on protecting American interests in space.

Brett Farve, the former NFL quarterback embroiled in a $77 million Mississippi welfare scandal, will campaign for Trump in the swing state of Wisconsin on Wednesday (Favre has denied all wrongdoing in the welfare scandal and hasn’t faced charges).

Musician Don Omar, the “King of Reggaeton,” said he would be supporting Harris because he believes her administration would be “one that uplifts, empowers and prioritizes dignity for all.”

Comedian and actor Billy Eichner brought back his popular “Billy on the Street” gameshow in a clip that saw Eichner and Will Ferrell don “Loud White Men for Kamala” T-shirts and ask strangers on the street “Would you have sex with a Trump voter?” (The episode was made in partnership with Vote Save America and Swing Left, among other partners, Variety reported).

Barbara Pierce Bush, the daughter and granddaughter of former Republican presidents George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush, respectively, campaigned in Pennsylvania for Harris over the weekend and said she was hopeful the Democratic ticket would “move our country forward and protect women’s rights.” (Her twin sister, “Today” show host Jenna Bush Hager, has not endorsed a candidate.)

San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Nick Bosa interrupted an NBC postgame interview of three of his teammates to show off his “Make America Great Again” hat, and later said he wasn’t going to “talk too much about it, but I think it’s an important time.”

Rapper 50 Cent told “The Breakfast Club” radio show Tuesday morning he turned down $3 million to perform at a Trump rally in Madison Square Garden Sunday and also rejected a paid offer to perform at the Republican National Convention in July. The musician, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has not endorsed a candidate this election and told the radio hosts he’s “afraid of politics.” In July, 50 Cent responded to the attempted assassination of the former president by putting Trump’s face on the cover of his “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” album. In 2020, when Trump ran against Joe Biden for the presidency, he said he was planning to back the Republican before later backtracking. He later tweeted, “F**k Donald Trump, I never liked him.”
