Jamie Lee Curtis, Robert DeNiro, Dennis Rodman, Mark Ruffalo, Susan Sarandon, Charlie Sheen, and more. Guess who these celebrities are endorsing for president?

Now that we’ve officially moved into the 2016 election year, more and more celebrities, politicians, and people of influence are announcing their endorsements for various presidential candidates. With so many people running for office though, it’s hard to keep up with who’s endorsing who so here’s a rundown for you.

 

Hillary Clinton

Clinton has picked up quite a few endorsements recently including Jamie Lee Curtis, Gabby Giffords, Sybrina Fulton (mother of the late Trayvon Martin), and Planned Parenthood. They join a long list of other high profile people including Beyonce, J.J. Abrams, Lena Dunham, Magic Johnson, and Katy Perry. Here’s what a few celebrities said about Clinton:

Jamie Lee Curtis - “I will absolutely take a stiletto to my own eye like Hester in Scream Queens if I wake up after the election and one the Republican candidates is the president and I didn’t get off my ass and walk door to door around this country to say ‘This woman is absolutely the next president of the United States and here’s why.'” 

Pharrell Williams - “It’s time for a woman to be in there”

Robert DeNiro - “I think that she’s paid her dues. There are going to be no surprises, and she has earned the right to be president and the head of the country at this point. It’s that simple. And she’s a woman, which is very important because her take on things may be what we need right now.”

Gabby Giffords – “Mark and I are proud to have Hillary’s back, and to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with her to break the stranglehold the corporate gun lobby has had on American politics — and American families — for too long.”

Sybrina Fulton – The rising generation of our young people need a President who will stand up to inaction from Republicans and indifference from the NRA. I believe that person is Hillary Clinton.”

 

Bernie Sanders

Sanders has been gaining celebrity supporters too, most recently Sarah Silverman and Susan Sarandon. They join a long list of celebrities including Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Ezra Miller, Belinda Carlisle, and Bonnie Raitt. Here’s what a few celebrities have to say about Sanders: 

Susan Sarandon – “It’s so insulting to women to think that you would follow a candidate just because she’s a woman. That’s so wrong.”

Sarah Silverman – “I’m loving @SenSanders .  He says what he means & he means what he says & he’s not for sale.”

Mark Ruffalo – “I think Sanders has a message. He’s the one.”

Mia Farrow – “However you may vote, Bernie Sanders is pretty great. He doesn’t pander, is consistent and clear on important issues.”

Danny DeVito – “Bernie Sanders…you’re our only hope Obi-Wan Kenobi”

 

Donald Trump

According to the Business Insider, Donald Trump has quite a few celebrities offering their support too, including Mike Tyson, Hulk Hogan, Dennis Rodman, Charlie Sheen, Ted Nugent, Wayne Newton, and Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson. Here’s what a few of the celebrities had to say about Trump:

Mike Tyson – “He should be president of the United States.”

Stephen Baldwin – Trump would make a “great” president “because he’s not a politician, and he doesn’t care what anybody thinks.”  

Gary Busey – “He can change the country after the last eight years.”  

Dennis Rodman – “We don’t need another politician, we need a businessman like Mr. Trump! Trump 2016.”

Lou Ferrigno – “I hope Donald goes all the way.”

Tila Tequila – “I am a huge Donald Trump supporter.”

Mike Ditka – “I think that he has the fire in his belly to make America great again and probably do it the right way.”

Trump has also managed to secure the support of Russian President, Vladimir Putin. “He’s a very lively man, talented without doubt,” Putin said about Trump according to The Washington Post. “He’s saying he wants to go to another level of relations — closer, deeper relations with Russia. How can we not welcome that? Of course we welcome that.”
