2024 US Election: 'Ant-Man' Paul Rudd surprises voters waiting in line in Villanova, Pennsylvania

Actor Paul Rudd surprised young voters waiting in line to cast their vote in Pennsylvania on US Election Day. Rudd handed water bottles to people who were happy to see Ant-Man standing next to them.

His fans surrounded him on seeing that the actor was there to support them. He obliged them with pictures.

A reporter of the US media outlet MSNBC was at the Temple University in Philadelphia when he saw Paul Rudd. He spoke to the actor who decided to show up with bottles of water because he heard that people had been standing in line for hours.

He said it was impressive that the young voters had been waiting for nearly two hours in the queue to exercise their right.

“We’ve been doing lots of stuff today here in Pennsylvania and we wanted to come out and tell these students they’re doing really great things,” the 55-year-old told MSNBC.

“They’re waiting in line for a long time, and it’s a wonderful thing that all these young people are out voting.”

The dashing actor made a similar appearance during the 2020 elections as well. He distributed cookies to voters in line at the Barclays Centre in New York and thanked them for making the effort and the time to come out and vote even though it was raining.

He also got pictures clicked with them and netizens were floored to see Paul Rudd make that gesture and praised him for being there to support the voters.

America chooses next president

Americans voted to pick their next president on Nov 5, as Vice President Kamala Harris hopes to make history and become the first female president of the country, while Donald Trump vies to become only the second man to return as president in a non-consecutive term.

Harris took over as the Democratic candidate after Joe Biden stepped down earlier this year. Trump has contested three back-to-back presidential elections - 2016, 2020 and 2024. He won in 2016 but could not return to the White House in 2020, losing to Biden.

He has already announced that this would be his last time contesting the presidential election.

The final results of the election might not be announced for days, depending on how the counting goes in some of the bellwether states.
