Famed TV judge Judith Sheindlin, better known as Judge Judy, has publicly endorsed Nikki Haley for president.
“I’m proud to endorse Nikki Haley because she is whip smart, has executive credentials, and was a superb governor,” Sheindlin said in a statement. “She has international gravitas as Ambassador to the United Nations. She is principled, measured, and has that illusive [sic] quality of real common sense. I truly think she can restore America and believe she is the future of this great nation.”
“Judge Judy is a no-nonsense lady who has earned the respect of millions of Americans from her courtroom by being thoughtful, fair, and honest. I’m honored to have her support,” said Haley in response.
Sheindlin’s endorsement comes one week before primary season officially begins with the Iowa Caucus on January 15.
