Martha Stewart reveals who she is voting for with rare presidential endorsement

Martha Stewart has finally revealed who she will be voting for in this Novembers presidential election. 

Speaking during the 2024  Retail Influencer CEO Forum earlier this week, the TV star said she would be voting for Kamala Harris. 

Stewart, 83, gave her reasoning as to why she is supporting Harris because she wants a president who doesnt hate New York and doesnt hate democracy.

The star has long been critical of Trump since both the pair had competing versions of The Apprentice back in 2006.   

It was Trumps version that eventually won out with Stewarts version the victim of low ratings.

Stewart said she would be voting for Kamala Harris because she wants a president who doesnt hate New York and doesnt hate democracy.

At the time, she suggested Trump had agreed to be fired so that only her version of the show would remain.  

Having two Apprentices was as unfair to him as it was unfair to me, she said to CBS News at the time.

Trump disputed her telling of the tale and called her out in public with a letter telling the press, I wish she would be able to take responsibility for her failure.

In 2016, Stewart threw her support behind Hillary Clinton over Trump saying to CNN at the time: We just cant have a country run by someone who is totally unprepared for what comes.

Nevertheless, Stewart praised Trump in 2016 calling him a true entrepreneur but then withdrew her comments following his victory.

Ahead of the 2020 election she remained silent when Trump took on Joe Biden, even dodging the question when asked by the New York Times. 

My personal conundrum is, my friends know who I am and what I stand for, but in terms of being the owner of the magazine, how do you take sides when 50 percent of your readers might be on one side, and 50 percent on the other? Its difficult. Thats my answer to that.

This time, Stewart appears to have no qualms about endorsing Harris even if it means alienating some of her audience, although she remains reticent on being drawn further about the topic. 

Im not allowed to talk [about politics]. I cant post anything about politics because first of all, the eyeballs of a parent company come and [Ill] get a call right away—cant do that, Stewart said. You cant talk [about that], so—keep it quiet, Stewart said.
