On Thursday evening, Vanity Fair posted a video of the Avengers cast voicing their support for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. The video featured actors Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Don Cheadle, Chris Evans, Danai Gurira, and Paul Bettany, who engaged in a spirited banter and reminded Marvel fans to vote for Harris.
The 90-second video showcased the Marvel cast brainstorming a catchphrase for Harris’ presidential campaign. They eventually settled on a dubious spin on the landmark “Down with Democracy,” accompanied by comic-style graphics and Marvelsque music to set the stage for a new era of democracy in the US. Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo took to X to share the video, encouraging fans to not “sit this one out.”

Meanwhile, Democratic Harris and Republican Trump continue to fight fiercely at the polls in key Southern battleground states of Georgia and North Carolina. Likely voters in Georgia show a split of 48% for Trump and 47% for Harris, while in North Carolina, Harris is at 48% compared to Trump’s 47%. These results fall within the margin of error in both states, indicating that neither candidate has a clear advantage in either race. After securing former President Obama’s presidency in 2008, North Carolina switched its support to Republicans in the following elections. However, polls indicate that Trump struggles to secure a majority in North Carolina.
According to fresh poll data from CNN, Harris has a two-thirds majority in Georgia and North Carolina—69% in Georgia and 67% in North Carolina say they mostly vote to support her rather than oppose Trump. Additionally, Harris continues to dominate the African-American and college graduate vote in both states, standing at 84% to 13% in Georgia, 78% to 19% in North Carolina, and 50% Harris to 47% Trump in North Carolina, 48% Trump to 46% Harris in Georgia, respectively.
