U.S. President Donald Trump reacted to reports that actress Sydney Sweeney registered as a Republican in Florida for the 2024 election. Before boarding Marine One, a reporter informed him about her registration.
Trump expressed his surprise and enthusiasm, stating, “You’d be surprised by how many people are Republicans. I’m glad you mentioned that. If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic!”
