With the campaign trail in full swing, each candidate is doing their best to win delegates in each state's contest to capture their party's nomination for the presidency. Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are both vying to capture the public's attention, and one way of doing so is through celebrity endorsements.

 While Clinton has her own core group of Hollywood elite backing her up, Sanders has also made a name for himself among A-listers in recent months. By having both liberal activists like Susan Sarandon in his corner and millennial favorites like Sarah Silverman, he has done a successful job thus far of assembling a fan base that spans generations and industries.

 “I don’t think reporters should vote,” the 48-year-old CNN anchor said on The Howard Stern Show. “A lot of reporters don’t vote. It’s a thing.” 
 
 “I’ve had the debate. There have been years where I have voted because sometimes I thought maybe I should. I’ve gone back and forth on it,” Anderson continued. “I don’t want to be influenced one way or the other. My role is to ask questions.” 
 
 “I honestly can’t remember,” Anderson said about his last time voting. “I don’t like feeling that I’ve taken a stand. I think [voting] is something [reporters] actively need to fight against and push against. It’s not my role.” ||||| CNN anchor Anderson Cooper chatted with Howard Stern today and said he does not plan on voting for president this year.

 Have a tip we should know? tips@mediaite.com ||||| During the 2016 presidential elections, Donald Trump supporters in the celebrity world were small in number, but vocal in their advocacy for the businessman and outsized personality. And while he's gained few friends since becoming president, some celebs are still coming out in support of the Donald. 
 
 Many famous people for Donald Trump are well-known conservatives who jumped on the bandwagon of the highest-polling GOP candidate. Others are former cast members of Trump's Celebrity Apprentice, making it known how much of a pleasure it was to work with Trump - and possibly looking to ingratiate themselves with their former "boss." A few backers of Trump for president were looking for cabinet positions - some of whom actually got them. And of course, there's Charlie Sheen. 
 
 
 
 Here are the figures from the entertainment or sports world who have publicly made it known they support Trump.
