Judy Sheindlin, better known as television’s Judge Judy, just made an endorsement in the 2020 presidential election — and no one saw it coming.
After remaining largely silent on silent on politics for quite some time, she’s decided to speak out.
“I want to speak honestly and from the heart — regardless of the consequences,” she wrote in a USA Today op-ed.
She’s endorsing former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg for president.
Judy wrote that Bloodberg is a united. She said America needs a voice for the center and that the country deserves a leader who can command respect.
“We’re hopelessly divided, and a bitterly divided family cannot thrive,” she wrote. “The only way we can begin to come together again, I said, is if Michael Bloomberg, former mayor of New York City, becomes our next president.”
“An independent, tough-minded businessman, he represents our best chance to bring America together again and begin the long national process of healing,” she claimed.
And Judy took her endorsement a step further, bashing far-left liberal candidates with “pie-in-the-sky” proposals.
“Everybody gets a thousand dollars, everybody gets free college tuition,” she warned. “Everybody gets, everybody gets, but where does all this getting come from?
As far as the Democrat are concerned, it seems that her words are on par with how most Democratic voters are feeling: The latest national poll shows that Joe Biden, a centrist, has claimed his widest margin against the field among Democratic voters since April.
But Judy, it seems, has shifted in a different direction.
Bloomberg is her man.
“… our votes can truly make a difference,” she wrote in closing, “and that’s why I strongly urge Michael Bloomberg to run for president.”
