Robert De Niro Urges Early Voting in New Ad as White House Blasts Trump-Rigging Claims

Summary
Robert De Niro appeared in a Thursday ad for Indivisible’s “Hands Off Our Vote” campaign, urging voters to cast ballots early so their votes are “already banked” before Election Day.
The actor said early voting would protect against what “they” might pull on Election Day, accusing the Trump administration and Supreme Court of ignoring constitutional rights and threatening voting access.
The White House hit back through spokesman Davis Ingle, calling De Niro a “washed up has-been” and accusing him of hate speech and inciting violence.
The ad extends months of Democratic warnings that Trump and Republicans could try to rig the midterms, while Republicans say Democrats are undermining confidence in elections even as they oppose measures like voter ID and the SAVE Act.
