On April 16th, Elizabeth Banks is scratching her head over why 53% of white women voted for Donald Trump instead of Kamala Harris in. The 2024 election, on a recent podcast, the 52-year-old actress pointed to her Hunger Games character, Effie Trinket, as the perfect example of someone who wakes. Up to the dangers of fascism, Effie starts off as a cheerleader for the oppressive capital regime, benefiting from its power, but she flips after seeing the injustice of close. Especially when her favors get pulled back into the deadly games. Banks hoped that Ark would hit home with voters before Trump's win. She straight up baffled and wishes more folks had that revolutionary spark, calling out those women voters directly. Meanwhile, a White House spokesperson dismissed her as an out-of-touch Hollywood type nobody cares about. Banks has been right or die for Democrats for years, stumping for Hillary Clinton in 2016, with Effie jokes at the convention and hitting the. Road for Harris on reproductive rights. Even with the new Hunger Games trailer dropping, her message stays the same time to rethink the status quo.
