“Women have more to think about than makeup and handbags. We’re busy running companies, and raising families, and trying to become the next president of the United States,” Ellen says in the video.

She also included a clip from Hillary Clinton saying, “Don’t get discouraged. Don’t give in. Don’t give up. Don’t quit.”
