Jennifer Lawrence says President Donald Trump has made her rethink her political views.

The Oscar-winning actress joined Wednesday's episode of the Dear Media Absolutely Not podcast, where she opened up to host Heather McMahan about what made her change her mind as she's gotten older.

"I grew up Republican. My first time voting, I voted for John McCain. I was a little Republican," Lawrence, 30, said.

The Oscar winner said her upbringing allowed her to "see the fiscal benefits of some of the Republican policies" as well as realize "the social issues weren't in line with [her] views."

As Lawrence grew older, however, she said she "changed [her] politics based on the things [she] learned."

If nothing else, she said what "changed everything" was when "Donald Trump got elected."
