“Law & Order: SVU” star Mariska Hargitay channeled Special Victims Unit Capt. Olivia Benson on Thursday when she endorsed Kamala Harris, a former prosecutor, whose opponent, Donald Trump, is a convicted felon who was also found liable for sexual battery.
“Hi, I’m Mariska, and if you know me, you know that I’ve spent my life fighting for girls and for women, both on screen and off,” Hargitay said in a video posted to her Instagram account.
“You might not be surprised to hear that I like strong leaders who will prioritize safety, accountability and justice. That’s why I’m voting for Kamala Harris. With so much on the line, I trust Kamala to uphold the law and defend our freedoms on Nov. 5. Kamala has my vote,” she concluded.

Hargitay is far from the only celebrity getting involved in politics during the final weeks of the 2024 election cycle. Former Fox News and current News Nation personality Geraldo Rivera endorsed Harris earlier this week, and Bruce Springsteen endorsed her at the beginning of the month.
Meanwhile, back in September, “Shazam!” star Zachary Levi endorsed Trump after his previously preferred candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., dropped out of the race.
