“Judge Judy” Sheindlin has stepped into the political arena, revealing her choice for the next president—GOP White House hopeful Nikki Haley. In a Tuesday statement released by Haley’s campaign, Sheindlin proudly endorsed Haley, praising her as whip-smart, possessing executive credentials, and having excelled as a governor.
Describing Haley as “principled” and “measured,” Sheindlin highlighted her elusive “quality of real common sense.” The TV veteran expressed her genuine belief that Haley has the capacity to restore America and positioned her as the future of the nation.
In response, Haley conveyed her “honored” sentiment for the support of the 81-year-old Amazon Freevee “Judy Justice” presiding judge, acknowledging Sheindlin as a “no-nonsense lady.” Sheindlin’s reputation for thoughtfulness, fairness, and honesty in the courtroom has earned her the respect of millions of Americans, according to Haley.
The iconic face of the courtroom show “Judge Judy” for 25 years, Sheindlin had previously endorsed former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a Democrat, in the 2020 White House race. At that time, she emphasized her preference for someone in Washington who is not divisive.
As Haley aims to defy expectations in Iowa and solidify her standing as a GOP contender, the endorsement from Sheindlin adds a notable voice to her campaign. Given Sheindlin’s long-standing reputation for straightforwardness and her widespread popularity during her extensive television career, her endorsement may carry weight among diverse audiences.
