Ahead of the election, Lawrence endorsed Biden in an interview with V magazine, saying, “I’m voting for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris this year because Donald Trump has and will continue to put himself before the safety and well-being of America. He does not represent my values as an American, and most importantly as a human being.” She also revealed on the Absolutely Not podcast that before Donald Trump she “was a little Republican.”

“I grew up Republican. My first time voting, I voted for John McCain,” she explained. But while she saw “the fiscal benefits of some of the Republican policies,” she eventually realized that the party’s cultural values didn’t align with her own and she “changed my politics based on the things I learned.” She followed that up by adding on Twitter that she’d “like to clarify my voting record…I grew up in a Republican family and voted for John McCain in 2008, but through Obama’s presidency and growing up to realize I was voting against my own rights, I am proud to say I am a Democrat.”
