NASCAR and IndyCar veteran Danica Patrick made a surprising revelation on Thursday — she has never cast a vote.
This election season, she’s making an exception for Donald Trump because, in her view, “it’s that important.”
Patrick shared her endorsement alongside VP hopeful JD Vance at a Greensboro, NC town hall.
“I just want to say I’ve never voted before, but this time around, I have to vote,” she told the crowd. “It’s that important.”

“I just want to be clear. I want to get on record — you’re voting for us, right?” Vance quipped.
Patrick assured him that she was “1000%” voting for the Trump/Vance ticket, and added that if it were possible to vote twice, she’d do so.
Vance, in turn, reminded her that conservatives uphold the law, joking, “We don’t do that, we’re Republicans. We only vote, we vote legally, only one time.”
Patrick cleverly suggested a legal way to vote twice by encouraging others to bring along their conservative friends to the voting booth.
Vance quickly embraced the suggestion, saying, “That’s a good point, vote twice the legal way. That’s very good.”
Meanwhile, Kansas City Chiefs’ kicker Harrison Butker has thrown his weight behind two Republican candidates.

At a Missouri event backing Republican Sen. Josh Hawley, Butker praised Hawley and named Trump as the most “pro-life” president.
“I’m supporting the president that’s going to be the most pro-life president…Donald Trump. The [Pro-life] topic is the most crucial topic for me,” Butker told Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”
“I want us to be fighting for the most vulnerable, fighting for the unborn, and that’s what we should prioritize,” he continued.
“I think you have to vote for whoever is gonna be the most pro-life and we have to be prayerful men that put God first. I think that’s what’s going to be best for our country.”
Separately, Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight issued a fervent call for Trump’s re-election in 2024, branding it as the last hope to prevent national catastrophe.
Voight warned that the Harris/Walz ticket would spell doom for the American dream.
In a viral video, Voight appeared before an American flag backdrop and urged viewers to reject Hollywood’s “brainwashing” agenda favoring Democratic candidates.
“You must see the lie and vote for the only one who will save our country and make it safe again, thrive again, bloom again — Donald J. Trump,” he told over two million viewers.
Voight maintained that individual dreams and family honor are tethered to a strong nation, achievable only through Trump’s leadership.
“This, my friends, can and will be by voting for Trump 2024,” he insisted.

He cautioned against the “corrupt” Harris-Walz administration, predicting it would plunge the country into darkness and rampant crime, thus snuffing out the American dream.
“We’re now in a time of the darkest plague ever and our chance, our only chance, is this November to vote for the President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, for 2024,” he repeated.
Voight said that the nation could look forward to national solidarity and well-being if American’s back Trump.
“This is the worst time of our era,” he noted. “The people of America are losing their dignity, their morals, their common sense.”
In Voight’s opinion, a vote for Harris and Walz could be “the most dangerous vote ever,” calling the Democrat lawmakers “the lowest and most vile choice that you can trust with your life [or] your children’s lives.”
He said if they win in November, “Your dreams will be voided with lies [and] you will regret your choice.”
