Gigi Hadid Says She Voted for an America She Wants Her Daughter to See
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
One month after welcoming her first child and a week before the 2020 election, Gigi Hadid revealed she voted via an absentee ballot with her daughter by her side.
Encouraging her American followers to take part in the election, the model posted a mirror selfie to Instagram wearing a “vote” T-shirt from Prabal Gurung. In the caption, Hadid and wrote about how “proud” she was of everyone casting a ballot.
“I voted absentee last week with my daughter next to me, for an America I want her to see; but not just for us—for fellow Americans that are less privileged, with hope for a nation that is unified, that is empathetic, & for a leader that is compassionate,” she wrote on October 24. “YOU HAVE A WEEK AND A HALF 🗳.”
She also let her fans know how “proud” she is of everyone who's voting this year. “IF YOU’RE VOTING EARLY IM PROUD OF YOU,” Hadid continued. “IF YOU MAILED IN YOUR ABSENTEE BALLOT I’M PROUD OF YOU. (&& if you dropped it off at your County’s Board of Elections Office or at an Early Polling Site I’m proud of you!!) IF YOU’RE GOING TO THE POLLS ON NOVEMBER 3RD I’M PROUD OF YOU. Whatever your PLAN, I’m proud of you; make sure you have one !!!”
Hadid didn't specify which candidate or local ballot measures she supported, but in the same Instagram post, she added a message encouraging voters to keep in mind issues like immigration, health care, LGBTQ rights, racism, and gun violence. A rational person can probably deduce which party she definitely doesn't support right now.
She also shared information on voting early in every state. Remember, voting in this election doesn't happen only on the third; it ends on the third. It's also happening right now, and if you're worried about getting to the polls on the big day and don't have a mail-in ballot, you can still vote early all over the country.
Amanda Seyfried, another celebrity with a newborn, posed in the exact same shirt on October 24—the same day Selena Gomez went on Instagram Live with Timothée Chalamet while he waited in line to vote in New York City. Guess you could say voting is really hot right now and you should totally do it.
