A new addition to the list of celebrities endorsing Kamala Harris for the 2024 elections is Wonder Woman fame, Lynda Carter. On August 5, 2024, the actress took to X to showcase her support for Kamala Harris and mentioned:
"I’m voting for Kamala Harris because I support a free and thriving America where women have control over their own bodies, children are safe from gun violence, our economy is competitive, and we have a fighting chance against climate change. We won’t go back. #WomenForHarris"
Lynda Carter's tweet garnered a response from internet users who took to X to express their opinion on the actress endorsing Harris. One of the fans referred to Lynda's portrayal of Wonder Woman and Kamala Harris's stance as an advocate for women's right to abortion and tweeted:
"Wonder Woman would never support late term abortions. Shame on you."
Others also commented on the same lines:
"We have control of our bodies. Kamala has done nothing to stop gun violence. Kamala’s admin crashed the economy. Objectively more was done to protect our environment in the first Trump admin than Kamala’s admin has done. Kamala lied about Biden’s decline" another internet user tweeted
"Imagine being so out of touch as an elite that you think mentioning the economy today is a plus for Kamala." an X user stated
On the other hand, some internet users also supported Lynda Carter's decision to endorse Kamala Harris:
"I couldn’t agree more, Lynda! Kamala Harris stands for a future where our freedoms are protected, our children are safe, and our planet is prioritized. #Kamala2024 💙💙" an internet user mentioned.
"They have Rosanne Barr. We have Lynda Carter. We win! :)" an internet user commented on actress Rosanne Barr endorsing Donald Trump.
"KAMALA HARRIS SECURES ENDORSEMENT OF AMERICAN ICON WONDER WOMAN" another X user tweeted.
"If you denigrate one woman, you denigrate us all"— Lynda Carter defends her stance on supporting Kamala Harris
After Lynda Carter's tweet supporting Kamala Harris went viral, one of the political pages on X called SnideSidePolitics responded to the actress calling her "another elite" and criticizing her for speaking out while other Americans struggled to make ends meet.
Criticizing Lynda's statement on the economy being competitive, the X user mentioned that credit card debt is at an all-time high and that a major portion of the population relies on credit cards for daily expenses. The X user also mentioned the fentanyl epidemic, immigration crisis, and homelessness on the rise in the U.S., in addition to which the X user stated:
"As of this morning, those with 401(k)s have lost 30 to 50% due to the #KamalaCrash."
Lynda was quick to respond to the X user's criticism of Kamala Harris and her endorsement of the Democratic presidential nominee. She replied to the X user and tweeted:
"If you denigrate one woman, you denigrate us all. When you assault one woman, you assault us all. If you mock one woman, you mock us all. Those men must know they are simply cowards among real men."
Lynda Carter has always been supportive of Kamala Harris and also celebrated when Joe Biden won the presidential elections in 2020. In November 2020, Lynda celebrated Bidena and Harris' win and tweeted that it was also the first time 45 years ago that she appeared on television as Wonder Woman.
The actress mentioned that she was thrilled to "celebrate the power of women on such an auspicious day".
