After [Cynthia Nixon](http://time.com/5207658/gov-andrew-cuomo-ally-christine-quinn-calls-cynthia-nixon-an-unqualified-lesbian-ny-governor/)—a.k.a. everyone’s favorite cynic, Miranda Hobbes—announced her bid to [run for governor of New York](http://time.com/5205954/cynthia-nixon-governor-reactions/) on Monday, [Kristin Davis](http://time.com/5209327/kristin-davis-endorses-cynthia-nixon-for-governor/) showed her support for her longtime co-star by immediately endorsing Nixon on social media. Not to mention that she has already [donated to Nixon’s campaign](https://twitter.com/KristinDavis/status/976596040110424064). Now, Kim Cattrall has also taken to Twitter to give her blessing—well, sort of. After being asked what she thinks of Nixon’s foray into the world of politics, the one and only Samantha Jones offered a somewhat ambiguous response. “I support & respect any former colleague’s right to make their own career choices,” she wrote on Thursday. Cattrall’s cryptic reply comes just weeks after an apparent [public falling out](http://time.com/5143228/sarah-jessica-parker-kim-cattrall/) with Sarah Jessica Parker following the death of the former’s brother. Parker has yet to weigh in on Nixon’s campaign. But we can only hope that when her response finally does arrive, it will be in the form of a column in the _New York Star_. > [](https://twitter.com/KimCattrall/status/976785717937483776) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5211314/kim-cattrall-cynthia-nixon-governor/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5211314/kim-cattrall-cynthia-nixon-governor/"},"headline":"Here's What Kim Cattrall Has to Say About Her Sex and the City Co-Star Cynthia Nixon's Run for Governor","datePublished":"2018-03-22T19:16:22.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:51:34.328Z","description":"From Sex and the City to running the city","url":"https://time.com/5211314/kim-cattrall-cynthia-nixon-governor/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","sex and the city"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte038af6b4a77f8aa/69892bae656a3fd215bd3f2e/kim-cattrall-cynthia-nixon.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte038af6b4a77f8aa/69892bae656a3fd215bd3f2e/kim-cattrall-cynthia-nixon.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Edinburgh Film Festival Jury - Photocall","caption":"Kim Cattrall attends the 2016 Edinburgh Film Festival","creditText":"Roberto Ricciuti/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"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":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5211314/kim-cattrall-cynthia-nixon-governor/","name":"Here's What Kim Cattrall Has to Say About Her Sex and the City Co-Star Cynthia Nixon's Run for Governor"}}]}] ```
