Chris Pratt stays neutral for the 2024 Presidential Election and delivers a message of unity in this time of division. The Guardians of the Galaxy star didn’t endorse Kamala Harris or Donald Trump but instead talked about coming together as a country. “I’ve been doomscrolling my way through this election season.

And I see things from both sides. I understand that people’s lives and rights are on the line,” Pratt said in a column for Sunday Paper, his mother-in-law Maria Shriver’s website. “I also see that there are millions of people who feel overlooked and invisible to our government and are desperate for something to change.” Pratt went on to recall that his “family was poor” growing up and although his “life has drastically changed” after becoming a movie star, he added, “I’m trying to make sense of the election through the eyes of Americans on both sides.

I’ve been thinking a lot about where we’ll be as a nation on November 6th, how we can attempt to move forward after so much division, and how some of the lessons that sports teach us may be just what all of us need as we chart a course forward.” RELATED: How To Watch Election Night Coverage Online & On TV The actor recalled playing sports as a child and learning the lesson of winning and losing with grace.

Pratt noted that after losing a wrestling match, he “cried for at least an hour” and questioned why he was so upset, later concluding that “losing is part of the game.” RELATED: Sabrina Carpenter Tops List Of Artists Who Helped Register The Most New Voters For 2024 Election “I feel as though we live in a time now when so many people have yet to learn that lesson.
