Jack Quaid, the son of Dennis Quaid and actress Meg Ryan, recently shared a video clip from an October 2024 rally where his father expressed his admiration for Trump, encouraging the crowd to make their voices heard in the upcoming presidential election. While Jack Quaid's views on Trump's presidency are not explicitly stated, it is clear that the 32-year-old actor holds differing opinions from his father. In a bold move, fans took to social media to highlight the father-son divide, resurfacing a past video of Jack Quaid's own take on politics.
