Julia Roberts Says ‘Women Still Have a Right to Choose’ in Voting Booths, Even if Their Husbands Support Trump: ‘No One Will Ever Know’ How You Vote

Julia Roberts is the latest Hollywood celebrity to champion Kamala Harris‘ presidential campaign. The Oscar winner is featured as the narrator in a new Harris-Walz campaign video created by the progressive evangelical group Vote Common Good (via The Daily Beast). The ad finds Roberts reminding women that their vote is their choice, regardless of how their husbands or anyone else may be voting. One woman in the ad is seen voting for Harris in the booth, even though her husband appears to be leaning towards 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 says, nodding to how reproductive rights are in jeopardy if Trump is reelected president.

The woman in the ad who votes for Harris is seen leaving the voting booth and meeting her husband, who asks: “Did you make the right choice?” The wife answers, “Sure did, honey,” and then shares a glance with her female friend that makes it clear voting for Harris is their secret in the voting booth and their husbands will never know.

“Remember,” Roberts adds as the narrator, “what happens in the booth, stays in the booth.”

Vote Common Good aims to provide an “exit ramp” for Evangelical and Catholic voters who “have been taught that to be faithful, they must vote for Republican candidates regardless of the candidate’s character or policy positions,” the organization explains on its website.

“In recent years a significant percentage of these voters have watched the Republican party disregard a commitment to the common good as they support political and social movements rooted in white-nationalism, a misguided approach to ‘America First,’ and practices of division,” the group adds. “This was highlighted by the treacherous insurrection and attack on Congress on January 6, 2021, and the continued spreading of the ‘big lie’ about the 2020 Presidential election outcome…The behavior of many elected Republicans makes it difficult for them to continue to support them. They are open to disassociating with Republicans in pursuit of the common good.”
