Travis Barker’s daughter Alabama Barker has revealed she will not vote in the election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris next month.
Alabama, who turned 18 last December, said she has an ‘opinion’ but prefers to ‘keep it to myself’ as she feels she is not ‘fully educated’ on the subject.
‘I could educate myself, but then again, why am I doing that if I genuinely really don’t care? I’m just honest,’ she said on Instagram Live this Thursday.
‘I have an opinion on what I feel is right because of what I’ve been seeing, and just like, I feel like, one of the voters is just a mess,’ she began, before correcting herself.
‘I mean, one of the – sorry, one of the people, the runners, candidates. See, I’m telling you, I’m not educated. I’m a little bit stupid,’ she said with a chuckle.

Travis, who shot to fame as the drummer of Blink-182, shares Alabama and his son Landon, 21, with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler.
He also helped raise Shanna’s eldest daughter Atiana De La Hoya, 25, whom she had via her previous relationship with boxing star Oscar De La Hoya.
Now Travis is married to reality TV superstar Kourtney Kardashian, with whom he welcomed his baby son Rocky Thirteen in November 2023.
Alabama, who enjoys a close bond with Kourtney but has publicly locked horns with her mother in recent years, explained Thursday why she has decided not to vote.
‘Not voting isn’t crazy in my opinion at all, ‘cause if I don’t feel like I have the exact education for what I’m voting for, how is it right for me to vote for something I’m not completely educated on?’ she said.
‘I could educate myself, but then again, why am I doing that if I genuinely really don’t care? I’m just honest. I don’t care to vote if I don’t know exactly what’s going on.’
She maintained: ‘I don’t think that’s wrong, and I completely stand on that, and I stand by it, because – first of all, I just turned 18. I never voted before. We all know this. You can’t vote until you’re 18. I’ve never voted.’
Alabama argued: ‘If I don’t wanna vote, I don’t have to vote, and if I don’t wanna be in politics, I don’t have to be in politics.’

She told her two million Instagram followers: ‘Why do my research on something I’m not very, like – I could educate myself. I do have an opinion.’
Alabama revealed: ‘I have an opinion on what I feel is right because of what I’ve been seeing, and just like, I feel like, one of the voters is just a mess – I mean, one of the – sorry, one of the people, the runners, candidates.’
Grinning, she gamely confessed to the fans watching her Instagram Live: ‘See, I’m telling you, I’m not educated. I’m a little bit stupid.’
The remarks come three months after Alabama – who has staunchly denied rumors she had plastic surgery – admitted to taking an unspecified weight loss drug.
During a makeup video, she shared that she was ‘on weight-loss medication because I’m tired of being fat and photographing like a damn ogre.’

One month earlier, Shanna publicly disclosed that she takes Mounjaro, a diabetes drug that some users fall back on to shed pounds.
She explained that she started utilizing Mounjaro to offset the weight she gained after both her parents died last year.
‘I was in a very, very dark place. I stopped dieting. I stopped exercising. I just ate like s***, I was so devastated, and I missed my f***ing mom and dad. I was like: “I’m going to f***ing eat the pain away,’ she told People.
Meanwhile the ‘paparazzi were at my front door from the Kardashian media circus with Travis. It was on another level, and I didn’t know how to deal. I was sad. And I just missed my parents so much,’ she recalled.
