TV travel guide Rick Steves on Friday officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election, saying that former President Donald Trump would bring "chaos" if reelected.
"The world needs not the chaos of Trump but the stability of Kamala Harris," Steves said in a video shared on social media. "It needs American leadership within the family of nations as we effectively confront the challenges of the future. That’s why I’m voting blue, and I hope you will too."
Steves, who hosts the nationally syndicated travel show "Rick Steves' Europe," previously endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020 and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016.
He wrote in a message released with the video: "It’s far more than Republican versus Democrat. In the future, big challenges like pandemics, refugees, and climate change will be blind to borders. They’ll be everyone’s problem and only solved by working together as a family of nations."
Steves continues, "Of course, how you vote is your choice. But if you believe, as I do, in the importance of nations working together constructively, the stakes are really high … and the best candidate is clear."
