Dennis Quaid joined former President Donald Trump on Saturday at a campaign rally he held at Calhoun Ranch in Coachella, California.
The 70-year-old actor, who announced he would vote for Trump in May, took the stage to deliver a speech and told the crowd to “pick a side.”
At the venue of the famous music festival, Quaid declared that this year’s presidential election is a vote between TikTok and the U.S. Constitution.
“I’m here to tell you it’s time to pick a side,” he said. “Are we going to be a nation that stands up for the Constitution or TikTok?”
Quaid also lamented the loss of a nation that used to have “cheap money” and “export oil to our allies and friends.”

While on stage, he also spoke about his recent starring role and his role as the 40th President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, in the biographical drama titled Reagan, which was released on August 30.
He told the audience that while Reagan was his favorite president of the 20th century, Trump is his favorite president of the 21st century.
California is not only known for its Democratic voting record, but is also the home state of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Quaid previously endorsed the Republican candidate during the press tour for his film Reagan in early September.
In May, he said he ultimately changed his mind and voted for Trump because of the “weaponization of the justice system” and his political record.
“I think I’m going to vote for him in the next election,” Quaid told Piers Morgan Uncensored host Piers Morgan. “It just makes sense.”
He continued, “I was prepared to not vote for Trump until I saw that, more than just politics, I saw a weaponization of our justice system and a challenge to our Constitution.”
He also shared a story about his housekeeper Josie, who he said “had been here illegally for over a decade using her sister’s identification.”
He recalled that Josie “worked for us” and “lived in fear” of being deported during the many years she worked for him and his family

Quaid said he only volunteered to sponsor and help her become an American citizen after Trump was elected.
During his speech, Quaid said the “fairy tale of Harris and Biden just doesn’t work now.”
“Four years ago, world peace wasn’t just a fairy tale,” he continued.
“Middle East peace — Trump was about to bring about the Abraham Accords, which would have had Israel recognized by Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries and put us on the path to peace that we’ve been striving for since the Biblical times of
and Isaac.”
Then, for the final leg of his campaign, Trump will hold a campaign rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City in the week leading up to November 5.
