At the premiere party Wednesday night in Beverly Hills for ABC's new drama debuting on Tuesday,
Commander in Chief
, in which
Geena Davis
plays the President of the United States, actress Sara Rue
told
USA Today
reporter William Keck
for a Friday article
: "In my mind I'm pretending that Geena Davis is actually running the country because it makes me feel a lot more secure." Keck asserted that
Rue
, who stars on ABC's
Less Than Perfect
, summed “up the opinions of the mostly Democratic Hollywood crowd” when she declared: “We all thought of Hillary Clinton when we heard they were making this show. I hope it takes off!"
Davis herself, however, who Keck reported will be “a Democrat playing an independent,” had “clarified: 'We're making this as entertainment. But God willing, if this show stays on and people see a woman in that office for a while, I think it will help people become more used to it. It's certainly about time that we had a few female presidents.'"
