If there was any rumor or confusion regarding to Kim Kardashian’s political stand, on 9/24, it was all cleared up with Kim’s Twitter post a picture of Hilary Clinton in a Victorian frame card, with the hashtag “STRAIGHTUP I’M WITH HER”. After she met Hillary Clinton at a fundraiser, Kim Kardashian posted a selfie picture of her & Mrs. Clinton, with her husband Kayne West in the background. She tagged: “I got my selfie!!! I really loved hearing her speak & hearing her goals for our country! #HillaryForPresident.” Hillary Clinton & Kim Kardashian were amicably friendly to each other. Mrs. Clinton said: “I really enjoyed meeting her; I really found her to be warm and very personable”. When she was asked whether Mrs. Clinton considered Kardashian to be a good role model for young women, she was very clever in choosing her words not to upset the powerful Kardashian clang: “I think all of us in our own ways can be inspirational or aspirational for people, and I certainly think many people see her as someone who gets up every day and tries to figure out how to make that day successful.”

There is another lady in George Clooney’s political life, and that is Hillary Clinton. He and his wife Amal Clooney hosted a fundraiser for Mrs. Clinton in San Francisco back in May 2016. In his letter sent out to his guests, George Clooney explained one of the reasons he supported Hillary Clinton because of her political experience. "… A voice of tolerance and experience, from a candidate who's spent a lifetime fighting for the rights of the less fortunate. A candidate who knows firsthand the complexity of our international relationships. That candidate is Hillary Clinton…” George Clooney has been a long-time supporter of the Democratic Party so his presidential choice this year was not a surprise, though it has raised quite a controversial topic around his choice of candidate he supported as well as the insane amount of fund raising tickets he set for Clinton’s fundraiser in May 2016.

In return, Hillary Clinton also held a high regard for Ellen Degeneres and her influential show. Mrs. Clinton even joked about offering Degeneres the vice president seat if she’d win the election. Ellen Degeneres jokingly turned the potential job offer down, citing the reason was that she would have considered relocation only if she could have recorded her show at the White House residence, not at a Vice President house. Good one, Ellen!
