Liberal comedian Michael Rapaport, known for his critical, and at times, vicious, stances against former President Donald Trump, has publicly withdrawn his support for President Biden in a strongly worded video. Rapaport expressed his dissatisfaction with Biden’s decision not to send weapons to Israel amid its military actions in Gaza, specifically if Israel invades Rafah, Hamas’ stronghold. This announcement was made in a video on X, where Rapaport vehemently stated he would not vote for Biden in the upcoming election, and even considered voting for Trump as an alternative.
The video, which has garnered significant attention with over 416,000 views, features Rapaport criticizing Biden for his stance on Israel, reflecting a shift in his political support despite his previous vehement opposition to Trump. Rapaport mentioned his disappointment with Biden’s approach to antisemitism in the U.S. and emphasized that his shift in allegiance does not come with any personal gain, as he neither sought recognition nor an invitation to the White House for his political endorsements or criticisms.

Rapaport’s reversal on his political stance is indicative of a wider shift among liberal voters and celebrities reassessing their support for Biden.
Notably, figures like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, 50 Cent, and Woody Harrelson have also expressed changing perspectives, highlighting a significant trend of reevaluation within the liberal community regarding their political affiliations and support.
