Dunham announced the transition the afternoon of Jan. 8 with a photo of herself dressed up in patriotic gear. “Hey y’all! I made it to New Hampshire and I’m thrilled to be taking over the HRC Instagram! Warning: I’m pretty focused on my outfits,” the caption reads. Clinton [did an interview](http://time.com/4047960/hillary-clinton-lena-dunham-feminist/) with Dunham in September 2015 to launch Dunham’s new newsletter and site, Lennyletter.com. In the interview, Clinton declared herself “absolutely” a feminist. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4173569/lena-dunham-hillary-clinton-twitter/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4173569/lena-dunham-hillary-clinton-twitter/"},"headline":"Lena Dunham Takes Over Hillary Clinton's Instagram","datePublished":"2016-01-08T20:30:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:04:42.129Z","description":"The Girls star has collaborated with Clinton before","url":"https://time.com/4173569/lena-dunham-hillary-clinton-twitter/","keywords":["Hillary Clinton"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4173569/lena-dunham-hillary-clinton-twitter/","name":"Lena Dunham Takes Over Hillary Clinton's Instagram"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"TIME Raw: Clinton Addresses Bullying in Iowa Campaign Stop","description":"","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/VIbeQH6X/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-12-23T13:42:24.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/VIbeQH6X.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4173569/lena-dunham-hillary-clinton-twitter/","duration":"PT1M24S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4173569/lena-dunham-hillary-clinton-twitter/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
