The 2020 Election is two weeks away, and celebrities are taking to social media to share which presidential candidate they’re supporting.
On Saturday, Jennifer Aniston wrote in an Instagram post that she cast her vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris. The “Friends” actress also wrote to her fans that she believes it’s “not funny” to vote for Kanye West in the upcoming presidential election.
In her Instagram post, Aniston was pictured placing a ballot in a mailbox, wearing sunglasses, a matching sweatsuit, and an animal-print face mask.
"Our current President has decided that racism is a non-issue. He has repeatedly and publicly ignored science... too many people have died," Aniston wrote in her caption.
She urged fans to consider who she believes will be most affected by the results of the election: female-identifying people, the LGBTQ community, Black Americans, and senior citizens, as well as future generations facing environmental issues.
Aniston finished her post by discouraging fans from casting their votes for West.
"PS - It's not funny to vote for Kanye. I don't know how else to say it. Please be responsible," the actress wrote.
On July 4, West announced via Twitter that he was running for president in 2020.

On July 8, the rapper told Forbes that he was running for president under a party he created, called the Birthday Party, and named Wyoming preacher Michelle Tidball as his running mate.
On July 19, he hosted his first campaign event in North Charleston, South Carolina, where he said Harriet Tubman "never actually freed the slaves" and spoke out against abortion, tearfully saying that he and wife Kim Kardashian West almost aborted their first child together, North, who's now 7 years old.
Following her husband's campaign appearance, Kardashian West released a statement via Twitter saying that her husband has bipolar disorder. Kardashian West asked the media and public for "compassion and empathy" and described her husband as a "brilliant and complicated person."
