Entertainment Weekly

Now that the Sex and the City alum is running for New York governor, she could follow in Trump's footsteps of a TV star being elected to higher political office. Last year, reflecting on her first Emmy win in 2004 and receiving it from Trump, Nixon told Variety: "Do I wish I had gotten my Emmy from somebody else? Yes, I do. Absolutely I do. But, it’s not like he picked me. He just passed off the trophy."
