Zachary Levi Endorses Trump Following RFK Jr. Exit: “He’s Going to Get Us There”

Zachary Levi endorsed Donald Trump for president on Saturday. The Shazam actor had previously declared support for RFK Jr.

“I’m not gonna take too much time, but I did just wanna just give you a little context about why Shazam is sitting here talking to you about these various things,” he said onstage at a Trump rally in Michigan. “I grew up in my family that was Christian conservative, that was pretty much the lane that we were in. My parents were Kennedy Democrats that then turned into Reagan Republicans, and they taught me to have a healthy level of distrust for the government and a healthy level of distrust for industry that runs amok.”

Levi supported RFK Jr.’s presidential bid throughout the summer, writing at one point that the politician was “the best we’ve had in a long time.” The Kennedy candidate dropped out of the race at the end of last month.

Levi spoke about his RFK support on Saturday. “For a long time, I was like, ‘Man, I really want to find a politician that represents all of the things that I want and I want to see in a presidential candidate.’ And this year, I found Bobby Kennedy, and I thought, ‘Man, this guy is it. He’s the real deal.’ And in a perfect world, whatever that would look like, perhaps I would have voted for Bobby,” Levi said. “But we don’t live in a perfect world. In fact, we live in a very broken one, we live in a country that has been hijacked by a lot of people who want to take this place way off the cliff. And we want to stop that, right?”

He continued, “We’re here to make sure that we are going to take back this country, we are going to make it great again, we are going to make it healthy again. And so, I stand with Bobby, and I stand with Tulsi, and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump. Because I do believe, of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, Donald Trump, President Trump is the man that can get us there. And he’s gonna get us there because he’s gonna have the backing and the support and the wisdom and the knowledge and the fight that exists in Robert Kennedy Jr. and former representative Tulsi Gabbard.”

In addition to the titular hero of Shazam! and Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Levi also voiced Flynn Ryder in 2010’s Tangled and will appear in the upcoming Harold and the Purple Crayon.
