 Jerry O'Connell says wife Rebecca Romijn, daughters 'became physical' with him after he criticized Kamala Harris' loss

Jerry O’Connell revealed that a political comment he made during the 2024 presidential election sparked tension at home with his wife Rebecca Romijn and their twin daughters. 

Speaking on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, the Stand by Me actor admitted he worried about sharing the story publicly, joking, “If I say this, will I stay married?” 

He recalled watching the election returns late at night and expressing frustration over Kamala Harris’ late entry into the race after Joe Biden dropped out. 

His offhand remark about poor planning was misinterpreted by his family, who reacted physically out of anger.

O’Connell explained that living in California with three politically passionate family members means even lighthearted jokes can trigger strong reactions. 

Maher responded by saying he always voices his true opinions, even if they upset others, arguing that suppressing one’s views is unhealthy. 

O’Connell, who supported Harris during her campaign, attended events in Georgia and later posted a humorous reaction to her loss on social media.

The actor has previously spoken positively about Biden, praising his wisdom at the 2023 White House Correspondents’ Dinner alongside Romijn. 

At the time, both emphasized that age brought experience and insight, calling themselves fans of his leadership. 

Despite the family disagreement, O’Connell’s comments on Maher’s podcast highlighted the challenges of navigating political discussions within households where opinions and emotions run strong.
