In a new letter penned by Vogue's Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour, the fashion icon voices her opinions on politics, coronavirus and the future of the Met Gala.
Wintour writes, "I, like so many of us, have been appalled by how [Trump] has responded to the pandemic—the optimistic and fact-free assurances that all will be fine, the chaotic implementation of travel bans and claims about a 'foreign virus,' the narcissistic ease with which he has passed blame to others, his dishonesty with the American people, and worst of all, his shocking lack of empathy and compassion for those who are suffering and fearful."
She goes on to say, "Meanwhile, his administration has been unforgivably slow to provide testing and to mobilize treatment to all who will need it. These weeks have been a reminder—as if we needed a reminder—that America must choose a new president."
Wintour explains that Trump's behavior is why she now stands with former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic frontrunner, calling him "a man of character" and praising his "decency, honor, compassion, trustworthiness, and best of all experience. "
"I have been impressed with the wider field of Democratic candidates this primary season, but after Biden’s decisive victories on Super Tuesday, I, like so many Americans, made up my mind to rally behind the Vice President."
She goes on to throw some more subtle shade at Trump, writing, "And what a relief it will be to have a president who puts the well-being of others before his own, who doesn’t constantly think of himself first."
In the same letter, she announced that the Met Gala is currently on hold indefinitely.
Wintour isn't the only celebrity to endorse Biden.
Cher, Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin and George R.R. Martin have all offered their support.
