by A new ad aimed at getting Vice President Kamala Harris elected is reminding men that their vote is private and they can vote for Harris.
The ad, paid for by Vote Common Good, a religious nonprofit that aims to encourage religious people to vote Democrat, begins with two male friends walking into the voting center together.
“Come on, guys. Let’s make America great again,” one of the men says to another, referring to former President Donald Trump’s campaign slogan.
While the ad shows a man contemplating his vote as he sits in the voting booth, the narrator, actor George Clooney, says: “Before you cast your vote in this election, consider the impact it will have on the people you vote for. cares most. Remember, you can vote any way you want, and no one will ever know.”
After the man votes for Harris, his daughter runs to him and they hug. The man assures his friend that he has done his ‘patriotic duty’.
“What happens in the booth stays in the booth,” Clooney says at the end of the ad. “Vote Harris/Walz.”
The ad is a gender switch from a previous ad narrated by actor Julia Roberts, aimed at women. That ad, also paid for by Vote Common Good, shows women decked out in patriotic gear voting for Harris. After she finishes voting, a man wearing a cap with a bald eagle on it, who is believed to be her husband, asks her if she made the right choice.
“What happens in the booth stays in the booth,” Roberts says at the end of the ad. “Vote Harris/Walz.”

Trump criticized Roberts for her role in the ad. On Saturday, he called “Fox and Friends” and said he was “disappointed” in Roberts.
“She’s going to look back on that, and she’s going to cringe,” he said. “Did I really say that?” It doesn’t say much about her relationship, but I’m sure she has a great relationship.”
He continued, “But the women and the men, I don’t think that’s the way they interact. Can you imagine a woman not telling her husband who she is voting for? Have you ever heard anything like that? Even if you’re in a terrible relationship, if you’ve been in a bad relationship, you’re going to tell your husband. It’s a ridiculous ad. So stupid. One day she will look back and say, “Did I really make that?”
