In a piece she wrote for Fox News after Donald Trump won the 2016 election, Jessica Tarlov described herself as "an admitted Hillary fan-girl," adding, "[E]ven the coldest hearted Republicans will have to admit that she has always wanted every American to have health care, a chance at a quality education and opportunity for a bright future."

Tarlov, like many other Democrats, was incredibly disappointed when Clinton wasn't elected president. When Grazia did a piece on the election results, Tarlov also weighed in, saying that the upside was that polls showed many Americans still want a female president. "[I]t's just clear that Hillary wasn't that choice for Americans," she explained. "Feminism in the 21st century is radically different than in previous decades, and Clinton ran up against a group of women who see their identity as much more complex than just gender first and foremost," she said.

In her piece for Fox News, Tarlov expressed her disappointment over the lack of support Clinton ended up receiving during the election, and that she had hoped the election would be a classic example of women supporting other women. "And not just any woman. This woman," she wrote. She ended her article on a positive note, however, saying that she's certain that Clinton will continue to leave her mark. "Whatever Hillary does, she's going to keep giving 200% and taking abuse. And for that, we should thank her," Tarlov concluded.
