Jennifer Aniston, the Greek-American Hollywood star, announced on Instagram that she voted in the 2024 presidential election, choosing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. The well-known Friends actress posted on October 30, sharing her decision and urging others to vote.
Aniston clearly stated in her post, “I very proudly voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”
“Today not only did I vote for access to health care, for reproductive freedom, for equal rights, for safe schools, and for a fair economy, but also for SANITY and HUMAN DECENCY,” Aniston, wrote.
Aniston encouraged everyone to participate, saying, “Please remember that whoever you are and wherever you live, your voice matters. Your VOTE matters.”
Aniston’s recent voting announcement follows her earlier reaction to Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance’s controversial remarks about women without children.

Three months ago, Aniston responded to Vance’s comments, where he suggested that women who haven’t given birth, like Kamala Harris, are “childless cat ladies” who are “miserable” with their lives.
Aniston expressed her disbelief, saying she “truly can’t believe” that Vance might hold a high office as the next vice president.
“All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day,” Aniston wrote on Instagram Stories on July 24.
“Let’s please end this era of fear,” Aniston’s plea for kindness and democracy
The actress, who has previously opened up about her own journey with IVF (in vitro fertilization), shared this response following Vance’s remarks.
Aniston went on to express her hopes that Vance’s daughter, if she ever needs it, won’t face barriers to IVF—a procedure Vance himself aims to restrict. She voiced her concerns about the country’s growing divisiveness in her Instagram post, encouraging followers to embrace a unifying vision.
“I know we don’t agree on everything, and that is the beauty of this country, but GOOD LORD aren’t you tired of this negativity towards each other?” Aniston wrote. “The intimidation and constant threats to those who do not think the same as the other?”
She added, “Let’s please end this era of fear, chaos and the attacks on our democracy – and vote for someone who will unite us and not continue to threaten to divide us.”
“We are so lucky we get to VOTE and this election is in our hands! We only have one week until Election Day so talk to your friends, your family, your neighbors and let’s find our way back to each other with respect, common cause, and LOVE.”
