Aldean’s Political Views

Aldean has been making headlines over the past few months by speaking out against President Joe Biden, and despite getting backlash from liberals, he’s refused to back down. 

“I will never apologize for my beliefs or my love for my family and country,” Aldean wrote on Instagram back in October alongside a photo of his silhouette in front of the American flag. “This is the greatest country in the world and I want to keep it that way. #unapologetic #phoenixwasfire”

Aldean had previously kept his politics private, telling Rolling Stone in 2016 that he did not vote in that presidential election.

When asked if he would have voted for Trump if he had decided to vote, Aldean said, “I don’t know if I’m going to cross that road with you. That’s one subject I do stay away from. Politics is a no-win.”

His wife Brittany Aldean is also vocal about her conservative political views as well.

Aldean has come a long way since then, and he’s now unafraid to brave the liberal backlash by being open about his conservative views. Congratulation on your $100 million deal, Jason Aldean!
