Judge Judy Sheindlin is speaking out this week to slam Joe Biden as she endorses the Republican candidate for Nikki Haley heading into this year’s presidential election.
Sheindlin Rips Biden
Referring to Biden in an op-ed for Daily Mail, Sheindlin wrote, “I’ve never seen greatness or anything close to it in his 53-year political career.”
“Just consider the last three years,” she continued. “He’s actively encouraged illegal immigration – leaving states, cities, and towns in chaos and on the brink of financial disaster. We need strong national leadership to bring this nightmare to an end.”
“At home, Americans are struggling with punishing inflation, a housing crisis, and a palpable fear that our best days as a nation are behind us. Abroad, we’re embroiled in horrific military conflicts that we could and should have prevented,” Sheindlin added. “Do you really believe Biden has the focus and drive to solve any of these problems? He created them in the first place!”

Sheindlin Sounds Off On Trump
While Sheindlin was quick to criticize Biden, she also made it clear that she is not a fan of Donald Trump, who is currently the frontrunner to secure the Republican presidential nomination.
“Trump was elected President with zero political experience,” Sheindlin stated. “While no one should deny his acumen as a businessman, he is not a leader.”
“A leader unites people, instead of dividing them,” she continued. “A leader protects the nation from chaos, instead of creating it. A leader projects moral authority and sets ethical standards for our children and grandchildren. Donald Trump does none of what America needs in this critical moment.”
That’s why Sheindlin, who previously endorsed the Democrat Michael Bloomberg during the 2020 presidential race, is throwing her support behind Haley.
“We need new leadership, new ideas, and a renewed commitment to the idea that, as Americans, there’s far more that unites us than divides us. So I urge you to join me in supporting Nikki Haley,” she wrote. “It’s easy to imagine her in the White House, making a difference and re-establishing American strength.”
“She has a masterful and deep command of the international stage and is respected by friend and foe alike,” she added.
Sheindlin also had some choice words for Democrats who may be uncomfortable voting for a Republican like Haley.
“If you are a Democrat who has never voted for a non-Democrat, get over it. That’s no reason to return mediocre leadership to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for four more years,” she wrote. “It’s time for all of us to think like Americans. Not like Republicans or Democrats. It’s time to elect a candidate who can heal our national wounds.”

Sheindlin Endorses Haley
Sheindlin officially endorsed Haley earlier this month.
“I’m proud to endorse Nikki Haley because she is whip smart, has executive credentials and was a superb governor,” Sheindlin said in a statement released by Haley’s campaign, according to Fox News.
“She has international gravitas as Ambassador to the United Nations,” she continued. “She is principled, measured and has that elusive quality of real common sense. I truly think she can restore America and believe she is the future of this great nation.”
Haley responded to this endorsement by saying, “Judge Judy is a no-nonsense lady who has earned the respect of millions of Americans from her courtroom by being thoughtful, fair, and honest. I’m honored to have her support.”
