Julia Roberts got 'the reaction she wanted' from Donald Trump after brutal last-minute swipe

Julia Roberts is delighted after getting a 'reaction' from Donald Trump to the political campaign ad she voiced in support of Kamala Harris.

The 30 second campaign shows a woman, who appears to be a Republican, secretly voting for Harris and Tim Walz - despite leading her husband to believe that she had cast her vote for Trump.

'In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want and no one will ever know,' Roberts, 57, says in a voiceover.

'Remember, what happens in the booth stays in the booth. Vote Harris-Walz.'

Trump, 78, blasted the Hollywood A-lister over the ad, calling her a 'disappointment' - which has delighted the star's inner circle.

'Donald Trump's reaction to the ad is giving it the kind of attention and impact it was intended to have,' a source close to Roberts told DailyMail.com.

'The response shows just how deeply it has resonated with him, which is precisely the reaction she had hoped for.' 

They continued: 'If the ad hadn't had such an emotional sting or failed to make a significant impression, he likely wouldn't have felt compelled to comment on it at all. 

'Those close to Julia are very proud of her for this powerful political statement.'

It comes after Trump himself responded to the ad on Fox & Friends, claiming that Roberts would live to 'regret' taking part.

He said: 'I'm so disappointed in Julia Roberts — she's gonna look back on that and she's gonna cringe, like, "Did I really say that?" It doesn't say much about her relationship, but I'm sure she has a great relationship.

'But the wives and husbands, I don't think that's the way they deal. I mean, can you imagine a wife not telling her husband who she's voting for? You ever hear anything like that?

'Even if you have a horrible — if you had a bad relationship, you're gonna tell your husband. It's a ridiculous ad, it's so stupid.'

The ad provoked the ire of conservatives, with Jesse Watters comparing the idea of his wife voting for Harris to 'having an affair.' 

'That violates the sanctity of our marriage,' he raged on Fox News. 'What else is she keeping from me? What else has she been lying about? That would be D-Day.'

Talk-show host Charlie Kirk also eviscerated the 'repulsive' video on Megyn Kelly’s podcast.

'I find that entire advertising campaign so repulsive,' he said. 'It is so disastrous. It is the embodiment of the downfall of the American family.'

Christian-backed group Vote Common Good were the brains behind the ad. The group aim to break down the stereotype that Evangelical and Catholic voters should always vote Republican.

On Tuesday, Roberts reiterated her support for Harris in a post on Instagram.

'There is a time to Hope, there is a time to Pray and there is time to VOTE. TODAY IS THE DAY,' she wrote alongside a selfie shortly after casting her vote. 

Roberts' former costar George Clooney, one of the Democratic Party's leading fundraisers who urged Joe Biden not to seek re-election, also voiced an ad for Vote Common Good in support of the Harris-Walz ticket.

A group of Republican men are seen casting their ballots together with their families.

'Come on boys. Let’s make America great again,' one of the men tells the group.

One of the others looks at a family photo as he decides who to vote for, as Clooney narrates: 'Before you cast your vote in this election, think about how it will impact the people you care about the most.'

The man then looks over at his young daughter before deciding to secretly vote for Harris.   

The friend asks him, 'You do your patriotic duty?', to which he responds: 'You bet I did, brother.'

Harris has emphasized her support for abortion rights after the Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, ending the constitutional right to abortion services.

The Vice President's campaign is hoping abortion is a key issue that can hurt Trump, especially with woman voters, while Trump has focused on migrants and the economy and dubbed political opponents the 'enemy from within.' 

Drea de Matteo recently lambasted voters who were prioritizing women's reproductive rights ahead of the election.

'I feel that women that are hanging on so tightly to this one idea are very short sighted because they are,' she told DailyMail.com just days after voting for Trump.

'It's almost like it's a religion. It's almost like they have to hang on to this, and that it excuses them from actually understanding what's happening all over the place. There are so many things that are so much bigger.'
