Alec Baldwin on Sunday endorsed Kamala Harris in Tuesday’s U.S. presidential election in an Instagram clip, also taking aim at Elon Musk for not doing enough to help the environment.
The Oscar-nominated actor, 66, faced the camera and gave his political view – something he has not done as much in the past three years, since the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film Rust in 2021.
ALEC BALDWIN ENDORSES KAMALA HARRIS
Baldwin – who won an Emmy for playing Harris’ opponent, former President Donald Trump, on Saturday Night Live – said that Harris would be a better candidate to navigate the country through four years.
‘Today is Sunday, two more days is the election – I think nearly all of us know what’s at stake,’ Baldwin said. ‘People say, “Oh, the future of the country is at stake,” and that might be true, but what’s at stake is the next four years.
‘In terms of certain problems we have with – yes, the border and yes, what our military is gonna be asked to do and what we’re gonna pay for that – but the environment is the most important thing to me right now, because you can’t undo it.’
WHAT HE SAID ABOUT ELON MUSK
The Cooler star then turned his focus to Musk, the billionaire businessman who has rallied to Trump’s side through the final month of the campaign.
‘Elon Musk comes up with ideas which are apparently great ideas, people love their Teslas; Elon Musk comes up with ideas but none that I know of are going to solve our environmental problem,’ Baldwin said.
He continued, ‘Maybe the Musks of the world could turn their attention toward solving those problems on a grand scale, that would be great.’

Baldwin said that the responsibilities of the next president are ‘critical in terms of environmental protection,’ calling Harris a ‘far better’ option than Trump in that regard ‘although [she] might not dot every I and cross every T.’
Baldwin continued, ‘One candidate wants to put the military on the streets to quash rebellion and quash free speech.
‘The other candidate would be a history-making statement – not that we vote for somebody for that reason alone – about how progressive this country really is and how they’re willing to go to any length necessary to run this country.’
Baldwin touched on a number of other critical issues, such as economics, worldwide unrest, and the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, which he dubbed ‘inconceivable.’
He ended the clip in saying, ‘I think everybody knows what to do – vote.’
