Danica Patrick reveals she’s never voted before, but will back Trump this year

Former IndyCar and NASCAR queen Danica Patrick divulged Thursday that she will cast a ballot for the first time in her life this year when she pulls the lever for former President Donald Trump.

Patrick made the revelation while hosting a town hall in Greensboro, NC, with Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio).

“I just want to say I’ve never voted before, but this time around, I have to vote,” Patrick, 42, said on stage with Vance. “It’s that important.”

Vance then interjected to make sure Patrick intended to support “the good guys.”

“I just want to be clear, I want to get on record — you’re voting for us, right?” the senator said.

“1,000%,” Patrick replied, joking that if she “could vote twice,” she would.

“We don’t do that, we’re Republicans,” Vance said. “We only vote, we vote legally, only one time.”

Patrick then encouraged the audience to “vote twice” the legal way by bringing a friend along to the polls with them.

“That’s a good point, vote twice the legal way,” Vance said. “… That’s very good.”

The town hall was held in the swing state less than two weeks after western North Carolina was struck by Hurricane Helene, which caused widespread damage as well as at least 92 deaths.
