Anne Hathaway Drums Up Hillary Votes in Philly

There are currently six days to go until the United States presidential election, and both candidates are pulling out their big guns in an attempt to sway undecided voters, and to get decided voters out to the polls. For Hillary Clinton, she was backed by some Hollywood  star power in the form of actress and Oscar-winner Anne Hathaway, who was in Philadelphia campaigning for the Democratic nominee today.

Anne Hathaway was surrounded by fans today as she made a stop at Temple University in support of Hillary Clinton.

The lovely and talented Hathaway embarked on a four-stop campaign route in Philly today, starting the day off at Temple University. University students, many of them decked out in Clinton gear (including “I’m With Her” tees) gathered in throngs to get a peek at the actress, and many lucky ones got to snap selfies with Hathaway. When asked about the importance of this year’s election, Hathaway gave some eloquent soundbytes:

“Elections are always important. Choosing who represents you in government is always important. For me in particular this year, whomever is our president is going to choose a Supreme Court Justice, at least one, possibly up to three, maybe even four — well, they’re not going to choose them, they’re going to nominate them.”

Hadas Kutnits of KYW Newsradio asked an unnamed rally attendee if they were fazed by Clinton reeling in a big Hollywood star for support. The response spoke volumes: “I mean, I’m already supporting Hillary Clinton. I think it’s really powerful that she does use her voice to stand up for really important issues because some celebrities haven’t said anything regarding the election and I think this election’s too important to sit out.”

All signs point to the presidential race in Pennsylvania being a tight one. The Keystone State’s twenty electoral votes would be a real prize for either candidate, especially Donald Trump, who is lagging slightly in national polls. Polling in Pennsylvania shows a stark divide, with urban voters in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh favoring Clinton, while those in the suburbs are tending to lean red.
