Kim Kardashian would not reveal who she will be voting for in the 2020 US presidential election while talking politics on during her appearance on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman.
Letterman pressed the aspiring lawyer over her candidate of choice while touching on her decision to work with President Trump during several of her criminal justice reform projects.
Though the iconic interviewer, 73, criticized the Commander In Chief several times, Kardashian, 39, deftly avoided having to say anything negative about Trump.
There was no mention of husband Kanye West’s presidential aspirations, as the interview took place earlier in 2020, long before West launched his campaign in July.

The chat was also months ahead of Kanye West’s announced his ambition to be President.
