America Ferrera Says She Wants to ‘Netflix and Chill’ With Hillary Clinton

On the eve of the Nevada caucus, actresses America Ferrera and Eva Longoria joined Hillary Clinton for a rally in the final push before voting begins on Saturday.

Ferrera, who noted that she is a millennial woman and first-generation American, made an unusual pitch for supporting Clinton.

“I really think I’d like to Netflix and chill with Hillary,” Ferrera said at an outdoor amphitheater just off the Strip in in Las Vegas, adding that she’d like to have a glass of wine with her, too. "I have a strong feeling Hillary and I could be BFFs if you'd just give me a chance,” she joked. Both Hillary and Bill Clinton have admitted to binge-watching television, specifically the Netflix original "House of Cards."

Longoria also made a pitch for Clinton at the event, calling out those people who say the former secretary of state leaves them uninspired. "If Hillary doesn't inspire you,” she chided, “You aren't paying attention.

Both actresses, who in their speeches mentioned their Latina roots, touched on the idea of a political “revolution," taking a clear jab at Bernie Sanders, who often uses that word to describe his campaign. Both Clinton and Sanders are neck and neck in the polls here in Nevada, and the Clinton campaign is bracing for another potential loss in an early-voting state.

“What we don’t need in this country is a revolution. We need an evolution,” Ferrera said.

"Hillary inspired a revolution a long time ago…it’s time to be a part of it,” Longoria added.

All three Clintons -- Hillary, Bill and Chelsea -- then took the stage alongside the two celebrities.

“I love doing things for her,” President Clinton said about his wife. “She did things for me for a very long time.”

Hillary Clinton delivered her standard stump speech, but continued to go after Sanders for his policy proposals. “I don’t want to over-promise,” she said. “I will not make promises I cannot keep.”

Sanders, meanwhile, held his own pre-Caucus rally 20 minutes away. "I have a feeling, folks, we are going to make history tomorrow," he said. “It could be that 10, 20, 30 years from now, people look back at what happened in Nevada and say this was the beginning of the political revolution.”
