Martha Stewart has finally revealed who she will be voting for in the November presidential election.
Speaking at the 2024 Retail Influencer CEO Forum earlier this week, the TV star said she would be voting for Kamala Harris.
Stewart, 83, explained why he supports Harris because he wants a president “who doesn’t hate New York” and “doesn’t hate democracy.”
The star has long been critical of Trump since the two had competing versions of The Apprentice in 2006.
Trump’s version ultimately won out, while Stewart’s fell victim to poor ratings.

Stewart said she would vote for Kamala Harris because she wants a president “who doesn’t hate New York” and “doesn’t hate democracy.”
At the time, he suggested that Trump had agreed to be “fired” so that only his version of the show would remain.
“Having two apprentices was as unfair to him as it was to me,” she told CBS Newat that time.
Trump questioned her version of events and publicly criticized her in a letter to reporters, saying, “I wish she could take responsibility for her failure.”
In 2016, Stewart endorsed Hillary Clinton over Trump, telling CNN at the time: “We cannot have a country run by someone who is completely unprepared for what’s coming.”
Stewart did, however, praise Trump in 2016, calling him a “true entrepreneur,” but later walked back her comments following his victory.

Before the 2020 election, he remained silent when Trump confronted Joe Biden, and even dodged the question when the… The New York Times.
“My personal dilemma is that my friends know who I am and what I stand for, but as the owner of the magazine, how can you take sides when 50 percent of the readers can be on one side and 50 percent on the other? It’s difficult. That’s my answer.”
This time around, Stewart appears to have no qualms about supporting Harris even if it means alienating some of her audience, although she remains reticent to delve further into the issue.
“I’m not allowed to talk (about politics). I can’t post anything about politics because, first of all, the eyes of a parent company come and (I) will get a call right away; I can’t do that,” Stewart said. “You can’t talk (about it), so… keep it quiet,” Stewart said.
