As Americans head to the polls, former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick has launched one final brutal attack on Kamala Harris’ celebrity supporters.
During a rally for Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, which is one of the battleground states in Tuesday’s election, Patrick, 42, lambasted the coterie of celebrities that have endorsed Vice President Harris’ campaign.

“I never went to a Diddy party. I’m doing this because I love this country and there’s nobody that’s been tested more than Donald Trump on showing his love for this country — through indictments, house raids, mugshots and getting literally shot,” Patrick said.
“I mean, I’m standing here, this is a very surreal situation. There is glass around me to make sure that nothing happens. This is the time we’re living in. Nobody has been tested more than him on how much he wants you to have this amazing country not only great again, but better than it’s ever been.”
Patrick also emphasized she wasn’t being “paid to be here.”
“I don’t have a teleprompter. I’m winging this right now, everybody. I don’t need a telephone,” she said, taking a swipe at Harris supporter Cardi B, who read her endorsement off her phone at a recent rally in Milwaukee.
When one person on X reposted a clip of Patrick’s appearance at the Trump campaign stop with the caption, “Danica Patrick trolls Kamala Paid Guest Speakers,” she replied, “I’m Danica Patrick and I approve this message.”
A number of celebrities that have endorsed Harris, were attendees at Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ famous White Parties. Combs, 54, was charged in September with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Jennifer Lopez, who dated Combs for two years, endorsed Harris at a rally in Las Vegas.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk also made a dig at Harris’ celebrity supporters during an appearance Monday on Joe Rogan’s popular podcast.
“It’s amazing how many people on the Diddy party list are supporting Kamala. Publicly, openly, all-in,” Rogan said.
“J.Lo was like his ex-girlfriend and now all of a sudden she’s warning people against Trump?” Musk replied. “How many people did she warn against Diddy? Oh, Zero? Maybe we shouldn’t trust her opinion.”
Last month, Patrick told Fox News host Jesse Watters that she would be voting for Trump after never participating in an election before.
“It feels like voting for Donald Trump is like the vote of reason. It’s like the rational, reasonable choice,” Patrick told Watters.
She also made a plea to people unhappy with Trump’s sometimes abrasive demeanour.
“There is a difference definitely between the way that men and women are voting, and I think maybe one of the reasons why women are having a harder time with the vote is just his personality,” she said.
“That’s the most common answer you hear from people. ‘I just can’t vote for him.’ I don’t think that’s a good enough reason. You don’t have to go to dinner with him. You just have to like the country that you live in.”
Patrick also said Trump’s stop at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania showed how likeable the former host of television’s The Apprentice really is.
“I think that he has a great sense of humour,” she said of his headline-making stop in October. “I think that he is a man amongst the people. I feel like when you wrap that up with the humility that he has, the sense of humour that he has, the off-the-cuff confidence that he has. His ability to go so unscripted and be in so many scenarios where he has to essentially be himself, it’s pretty much all of them. That’s not just something you see from the other side, which I think is one of the most endearing and important qualities about him is that he is just being him.”
Patrick predicted that if Trump is reelected as America’s commander-in-chief, the country will reach new heights.
“I feel like most of all, though, what this country could be if he gets into office, with all the amazing, brilliant people who are supporting him, I feel like it can not only make America great again, but make America greater than it’s ever been,” she said.
