Jennifer Lawrence had stood in support of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 bid for the presidency, due to the latter’s experience as a career politician. In the upcoming US presidential elections 2020 on November 3, she is vesting her ballot in support of Joe Biden.

In a recent interview with V magazine, she mentioned that she will be voting for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris this year because Donald Trump always 'has and will continue to care about his safety more than the safety and well-being of the country'. She added that the values shown by Trump do not represent her as an American and more so as a human being.  

The actor, during her podcast, also mentioned that she understands "the fiscal benefits of the Republican policies," but realised that the social issues weren't in line with her personal beliefs. She further added how the presidency during Barack Obama’s time was more domesticated than the current. She added, “You would go days, maybe weeks, without thinking about the president because everything would generally be OK.''
