Kim Kardashian would not reveal who she will be voting for in the 2020 US presidential election while talking politics on during her appearance on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman.

Letterman pressed the aspiring lawyer over her candidate of choice while touching on her decision to work with President Trump during several of her criminal justice reform projects.

Though the iconic interviewer, 73, criticized the Commander In Chief several times, Kardashian, 39, deftly avoided having to say anything negative about Trump.

There was no mention of husband Kanye West's presidential aspirations, as the interview took place earlier in 2020, long before West launched his campaign in July.

'I know who I'm voting for,' Kim told David with a smile, per the Daily Beast, refusing to say anything more than that. 

Though Kardashian seemed to be confident she had made her choice, the interview was filmed around the start of the year - months before COVID-19, lock downs and widespread social unrest threw the country into disarray. 

The chat was also months ahead of Kanye West's announced his ambition to be President.

Elsewhere in the interview, Letterman prodded the Skims creator to denounce the President.

Despite Letterman's goading, the mogul would not disavow the President Trump, who she persuaded to grant several clemencies from 2018 on.

Keeping neutral, she told David: 'Hopefully, for the next multiple administrations, I'll be working with the White House, helping them with clemencies.'

David noted that, unlike Trump, Kim's 'good work is overwhelming.' 

'It's a positive force that diminishes what I consider to be unacceptable behavior by the president,' Letterman added.

Kim didn't take the bait, expertly maneuvering around the question, unwilling to critique the current president of the United States. 

She went on saying she was willing to listen to David's perspective on the Trump administration.

He asked Kardashian: 'But do you feel that what is being done on behalf of sentencing reform now via this current administration in any way allows the balance of democracy back in a corridor of viability?' 

To which Kim replied with a smile: 'Well, I have no idea what you just said.'  

'I'm grateful for what you're doing, but it doesn't make me feel any better about the current administration,' explained David.

Diplomatically, Kim said that is something she totally 'understands.'

While Kardashian steered clear of most Trump controversy, she did go on to express that she is 'extremely grateful' for the current administration's part in working towards criminal justice reform.

Kim also revealed how people told her visiting the White House would tarnish her reputation. She has been a guest of President Trump several times since 2018.

'Trust me, everyone called me and said, "Don't you dare step foot in that White House or your reputation is done,"' claimed Kim. 'And I said, "I have to step foot in there or these people's lives don't have a chance."'

Though Kim wasn't publicly aligning herself with anyone, she has a history of voting blue. In 2016 she endorsed Hilary Clinton in her bid against President Trump.

Kim's highly anticipated episode of This Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman comes out October 21st, what will be Kardashian's 40th birthday
