Batista has never exactly been shy about where he stands politically, and Election Day 2026 was no different. The WWE legend cast his ballot in the midterms and immediately used the moment to send another message to his followers — “vote them out.”
On November 3, Batista took to Instagram and revealed that he had voted in the 2026 midterm elections. Along with the hashtag #VoteThemOut, he encouraged his followers to make their own trip to the polls and then make sure their friends had a voting plan as well.
“Vote! #votethemout 🇺🇸
I voted – please join me!
Text VOTE to 63033 to find your polling place, early voting site, or drop box
And finally, once you’ve voted, text 3 friends who might not have a plan to vote! 🙏🏼”
The “vote them out” message comes with plenty of history behind it. Batista has been a very public critic of Donald Trump for years, including during the 2024 presidential election when he endorsed Kamala Harris and repeatedly encouraged people to vote.
He also went viral in October 2024 after appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live and absolutely unloading on Trump’s “tough guy” image. Batista mocked everything from Trump’s appearance to his temperament while making it pretty damn clear how he felt about the then-presidential candidate.
“Fellas, we gotta talk. A lot of men seem to think that Donald Trump is some kind of tough guy. He’s not. I mean, look at him, he wears more makeup than Dolly Parton. He whines like a baby.”
Batista ultimately ended that infamous rant by calling Trump a “whiny little b***h,” and his political stance clearly hasn’t softened in the two years since. This time around, he kept the message considerably shorter and let “#VoteThemOut” do most of the talking.
With Americans heading to the polls for the November 3 midterms, Batista is once again using his platform to push political participation while making his opposition to the current Trump administration unmistakable. He didn’t need another two-minute gym rant this time — three words pretty much got the job done.
What do you think about Batista once again getting political and using his platform to urge people to vote in the 2026 midterms? Let us know what you think in the comments.
