Jill Duggar and her husband, Derick Dillard, haven’t been ones to shy away from sharing their opinions about major societal issues. However, the former Counting On star recently issued a bold political statement that divided her fans ahead of Election Day 2024.
On Oct. 31, Jill shared a message to fans via Instagram with photos of herself, Derick and their three kids after voting.
The main image showed Jill and Derick smiling while wearing “I Voted Early” stickers. In a second picture, Derick held hands with their youngest son, Freddy, with their other sons, Israel and Samuel nearby. The family seemingly walked toward a building, presumably Jill and Derick’s board of elections.
In the comments, fans were divided in their responses. A Democratic supporter wrote, “With the reflection you’ve been doing on your faith journey, I hope you voted for the most Christ-like candidate of the two, Kamala Harris.”
Another Harris voter shared, “Voting for [Donald] Trump is the opposite of Christianity.”
Meanwhile, a Trump supporter commented, “MAGA 🙌 Trump is not as bad as the media portrays him to be. I watched all 5.5 hrs of the rally and all I saw was freedom, love and inclusivity.”
A different Republican echoed, “I am a woman who proudly voted for Trump!”
The mom of three returned to Instagram on Nov. 1 to share a video of her family’s Halloween costumes while trick-or-treating—and in doing so, seemingly hinted at her support for Trump. In the clip, Jill wore a “garbage lady” costume while Derick dressed up like “garbage.”
Many Instagram users interpreted their costumes as support for Trump, as Donald Trump Jr. recently dressed as trash in response to President Joe Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage” after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe said Puerto Rico was a “floating island of garbage” at an Oct. 27 Trump rally.
