Everyone has an opinion on the presidential election. This year it seems that those opinions are intensified and more people are continually speaking up, including popular celebrities.

In American culture in particular, people idolize celebrities so their opinion is going to not only resonate with audiences but can also change peoples mind about a subject.

The majority of celebrities that appear on T.V. talk shows or late night shows are democratic so naturally they endorse Hillary Clinton. A few celebrities endorse Donald Trump, mostly on less covered shows or FOX news channel. Some notable Trump supports include Dennis Rodman, Phil Robertson, and Kid Rock.

It seems like every time people turn on the T.V. or listen to a radio station a celebrity is being asked whom they support or whom they are voting for. Maybe this is because it is a relevant question during an election, or maybe there is something suspicious going on with everyone on liberal media endorsing Clinton. After all like Trump said “It’s rigged.”

Most of the celebrities that we see on T.V. live in California, a very democratic liberal state, so they are simply stating their political views when asked. Unless some emails become uncovered by the DNC proving that the Clinton campaign is paying people to endorse her publicly, there is nothing to worry about.
