Julia Roberts' Ad Encouraging Women to Vote Independently Sparks Controversy

The ad, released by Vote Common Good, urges women to vote for Kamala Harris, facing criticism for its portrayal of marital voting dynamics.

  • Julia Roberts narrates an ad encouraging women to vote for Kamala Harris without their husbands' knowledge, leading to mixed reactions.
  • Critics argue the ad is condescending and liken a secret vote to infidelity, while supporters praise its message of voting autonomy.
  • The ad is part of a broader strategy by Democrats to appeal to young, unmarried women amid declining marriage rates in the U.S.
  • Vote Common Good also released a similar ad narrated by George Clooney, targeting men to consider the impact of their votes.
  • Polls show a close race between Harris and Trump, with Harris leading among women and Trump leading among men.
