If it’s any comfort, though, other Twitter users voiced their support. “I look forward to voting for her some day,” one follower gushed. “Awww so cute she is already politically aware. You are raising a good kid there. She is a badass,” another said. “Yes next CEO or Soon to a president candidate. I love it! Encourage that, it’s beautiful! Thank you for sharing;)” a third wrote.

“Omg teach her how to put the data in excel and make a graph. Would looooove to see the teacher receive that data,” another suggested.
