Despite being a lifelong supporter of the Republican Party, Sinise refused to endorse or vote for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election,[citation needed] or in the 2024 election and also criticized Trump after the then-candidate questioned McCain's status as a war hero because he was captured as a prisoner of war.[50]
