Judge Judy Talks About Her Nikki Haley Endorsement, Donald Trump’s Courtroom Antics And Her Fears Of A 2020 Rematch

As Donald Trump was about to step on stage on Sunday for another rally to tout the endorsement of another former rival, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley was about 30 miles south in New Hampshire, at a rally at Exeter High School, where a celebrity figure and daytime fixture was giving her her support: Judge Judy.

On stage to a room full of enthusiastic supporters, Haley called Judy Sheindlin, whose daily courtroom show made her one of the most famous women on TV, a “trailblazer” who is “tough” and “speaks hard truths” and “doesn’t mince words.” “I will tell you for all of those endorsements you talk about, those are the endorsements that matter, the ones where they’re going to tell you the truth even if you don’t want to hear it, and they are going to tell you why, and it’s a combination of brains and heart,” Haley said.

Introducing Haley, Sheindlin said, “I’m not here necessarily to bash the competition, although I am perfectly capable of doing that.” The line got a big laugh.

As many in the GOP line up behind Trump, the Haley campaign is highlighting Sheindlin’s backing in the final days of the primary, as the former UN ambassador and the judge sat for multiple joint interviews with local and national outlets before the rally.
