\In the wacky and sometimes fascinating world of celebrity endorsements, one of the world’s most famous adult stars has picked a candidate. Former porn actress Jenna Jameson has selected Republican Marco Rubio as her choice for the presidency.

Jameson, 41, backed Hillary Clinton in 2008. The adult movie star grew more conservative four years later for a simple reason. Here’s why she endorsed Mitt Romney in 2012, according to CBS San Francisco:

"I'm very looking forward to a Republican being back in office," Jameson said while sipping champagne in a VIP room at Gold Club in the city's South of Market neighborhood. "When you're rich, you want a Republican in office."

Jameson has an estimated net worth of $10 million. She also has one more crucial reason for supporting the Rubio campaign. Jameson loves Israel – her fiancé is from there – and believes Republicans can do the most for the Middle Eastern country. Recent violent clashes in the area have killed eight Israelis and left more than 40 Palestinians dead.

With the upswing in violence, Jameson on Twitter called out Donald Trump on Sunday evening to ask what he thinks about Barack Obama’s Israel policy. When someone asked her who she wanted for the upcoming election, she called Rubio “the clear choice!!!!” for 2016. Jameson frequently posts photos of Shabbat meals that she’s cooked.



That’s the second celebrity endorsement Rubio has picked up during the election season. In addition to the porn star, Rubio also has received support from “Pawn Star” Rick Harrison.

Popular prediction market PredictWise gives Rubio a slight edge over Jeb Bush in the race for the GOP nominee.
