Offerman’s Bold Statements About Trump
On August 27, Nick Offerman released a YouTube video titled “Proud to Be a Kamala Man,” where he made his views on Trump unmistakably clear. In the video, Offerman directly addressed the camera, saying, “I’m very enthusiastic to be supporting the presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz.”
He went on to sing, “Cuz there’s no denyin’ Trump’s a f**king dck. So I’m proud to be a Kamala man who’s quit the GOP. Cause I just can’t stick with the man convicted of 34 felonies. And it’s time to stand up and face the facts after all the scams and tricks. He’s a half-ased Putin wannabe.” The lyrics left no doubt about Offerman’s strong opinions regarding Trump, further underscoring his shift away from the GOP.
Support for Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz
Offerman’s video was not just a critique of Trump; it was also a declaration of his support for Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The actor introduced the video by expressing his excitement to back Harris and Walz, signaling his departure from the Republican Party and his endorsement of what he sees as a more “decent” leadership.
The video’s caption elaborated on Offerman’s motivations, describing the song as “a rousing anthem about a former Republican voter awakening to the crapulent, unelectable qualities of the GOP ticket and instead seeing his way clear to voting for the decency on offer with our charismatic and powerful VP Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Governor and Top Man Tim Walz.”

The Song’s Reception and Message
Offerman’s song, a reworked version of “Proud to Be a Kamala Man,” set to the melody of Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA,” had already gained significant attention online. Within hours of its release, the video had garnered 51K views and 2.7K likes. In the video, Offerman wore a T-shirt adorned with a bald eagle and passionately sang in support of Harris.
“For obvious reasons, there are a lot of Republicans who are suddenly very Kamala-curious,” Offerman sang, noting a growing trend of former Republicans reconsidering their political allegiances. “There are all these organizations of Republicans for Kamala, and it’s very exciting.”
Offerman’s Transition from GOP to Kamala Harris Supporter
Offerman, who recently portrayed a MAGA man in Ava DuVernay’s Origin, touched on his personal political journey in the video. He reflected on moments during Trump’s presidency that made him reconsider his support. “When he mocked the disabled and war heroes, I thought, well, that’s okay. And when he told us to march on the Capitol, I said, yes, sir, point the way,” Offerman sang, before adding, “But the cons and lies, the r*pes and rants, all the bullshit laid on thick got me tired of trying.”
He contrasted this with Kamala Harris, praising her as a leader with momentum and integrity, someone who “never concealed any nuclear secrets.” Offerman’s shift from the GOP to supporting Harris was presented as a logical and ethical choice for someone who had grown weary of Trump’s actions.

Fundraising Success and Celebrity Endorsements
Offerman’s video also had a tangible impact on the Harris campaign. According to The Wrap, his three-and-a-half-minute performance helped raise more than $12,000 for Harris’s campaign. Offerman further encouraged his social media followers to contribute to the cause, providing a link to the Democrats’ website and urging people to join him in supporting Harris and Walz.
The actor is the latest in a line of celebrities to endorse Harris, who took over the Democratic ticket after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race in July. Harris has garnered widespread support from high-profile figures, including Pink, Stevie Wonder, John Legend, and Lil Jon. Additionally, other celebrities such as Ariana Grande, Barbra Streisand, Carole King, Olivia Rodrigo, and Megan Thee Stallion have also voiced their support for Harris.
A Growing Movement of Support for Kamala Harris
Nick Offerman’s vocal support for Kamala Harris is part of a broader trend of celebrities and former Republicans rallying behind her candidacy. Offerman’s video, with its sharp critique of Trump and enthusiastic endorsement of Harris, reflects the shifting political landscape as the 2024 election approaches.
As Offerman himself noted, many Republicans are now “Kamala-curious,” exploring the possibility of supporting a candidate they believe represents a return to decency and effective leadership. The enthusiasm Offerman expressed for Harris and Walz underscores the growing momentum behind their campaign, as more voters seek alternatives to Trump and the current Republican leadership.
Expert Commentary: “Offerman’s transition from a GOP supporter to a vocal advocate for Kamala Harris highlights the broader disillusionment with Trump among certain voter segments. His ability to blend humor with sharp political critique makes his message resonate, particularly with those on the fence about their political affiliations,” said a political analyst familiar with celebrity endorsements in political campaigns.
Neither Kamala Harris nor Donald Trump have commented on the video as of now, but the impact of Offerman’s words and performance continues to ripple through the political discourse surrounding the 2024 election.
