Chelsea Handler
The late-night talk show host had her own show “Chelsea Lately” on E! for years before moving on to Netflix in 2016. The video service also gave her a show, simply titled “Chelsea,” which she hosted from 2016 to 2017. However, after those two seasons, she decided to end the show in order to focus on political activism. She’s been a strong opponent of President Trump and said that she plans to work with the pro-choice EMILY’s List to elect women to public office in 2018. Donald Trump Jr. has attacked her directly, recently saying “Stay away from politics — no reason to suck at two things.”
Cher
The singer and actress has been referred to as the “Goddess of Pop,” and her career, which has spanned over six decades, gives little question as to why. She’s the only artist who has had a No. 1 single on Billboard’s charts in every decade from the 1960s to the 2010s. Even with so many years in show business, she’s still going strong, with a tour in Australia and New Zealand this year. Throughout all of this time, she’s been a strong Democrat. In 2000, she told ABC News that she would do “whatever possible to keep [Bush] out of office.” In 2008 and 2012, she helped campaign for President Obama, but she did mention in 2010 that she thought former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (who she supported initially) would have done a better job.
Chris Evans
Evans is now famous worldwide for his portrayal of Steve Rogers/Captain America in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. But even though he plays the conservative, star-spangled hero, his politics lean decidedly to the left. He’s said “I’m certainly of a Democratic mindset. I’m certainly liberal. I believe in the government being funded to support people who need help.” He also has the distinction of being the author of the only tweet that Ben Shapiro, the conservative podcaster and pundit, has “liked” on twitter. (A previous tweet by Rosie O’Donnell disappeared after she blocked Shapiro).The tweet? “I genuinely dislike Ben Shapiro.”
