“Look, I've been voting for 64 years.

Comparing the two candidates, Ford noted, “Kamala Harris will protect your right to disagree with her about policies or ideas, and then, as we have done for centuries, we’ll debate them, we’ll work on them together, and we’ll move forward.

“I’m Harrison Ford. I’ve got one vote, same as anyone else. And I’m going to use it to move forward. I’m going to vote for Kamala Harris,” Ford concluded as the video ended with the tagline, “A new way forward - Harris and Walz.”
