Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s Daughter Violet ‘Has What It Takes’ For Future Career in Politics

Jennifer Garner is incredibly proud of her and Ben Affleck’s eldest daughter, Violet, who is studying at Yale, and sources tell the National Enquirer she’s convinced that the highly intellectual teen has the right stuff for a golden career in politics in the not-too-distant future.

“For all the high-profile drama that came with the end of their marriage 10 years ago, you can’t really fault Ben and Jen as parents,” confides an insider. “They raised Violet to be a concerned and informed citizen first, and a celebrity offspring second, and Violet’s passionate, informed activism is a validation of that approach.”

“Of course, Jen and Ben have had legitimate political ambitions of their own over the years, and that’s filtered down to their kids. Now it’s clear that Violet has what it takes for a career in public policy — and even elected office.”

According to our insider, Jen is the main one pushing her girl into politics.

“Jen believes Violet can go far,” confides the insider. “She’s encouraging her behind the scenes to stand up for what she believes in. Ben is more of a silent supporter, but Jen’s saying, ‘You go, girl!’ ”

In July 2024, two months after graduating from her private high school, Violet stood before the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to argue why mask bans were wrong as long as COVID continues to strike, per ABC News.

“Hi, Violet Affleck, Los Angeles resident, first-time voter. I’m 18,” she announced, going on to say she had experienced a “post-viral condition” in 2019, a year before the COVID pandemic shut down the world.

“I’m okay now, but I saw firsthand that medicine does not always have answers to the consequences of even minor viruses. The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown that into sharper relief,” the teen proclaimed.

Violet is currently a sophomore at Yale, studying public health.

“Jen is thrilled that Violet hasn’t let the family’s status in Hollywood get in the way of her desire to make the world a better place,” adds the insider. “Her future looks incredibly bright.”
