Oprah might have endorsed Kamala Harris, but her one-time TV companion is swinging for the other side.

Dr Phil McGraw, best known as simply Dr Phil, spoke at the Republican campaign rally in New York on October 27, throwing his support behind Donald Trump for president.

The TV personality and author told the crowd Trump is "tough as an old Army boot" and denied the suggestion he is a bully.

"There has to be an imbalance of power [for someone to be labelled a bully], and when there's not, it's just called a debate, and he's just better at it than anybody else," he said.

"Whoever he talks to, they've got a microphone, they've got on their big-boy pants, they've got a stage. He's just better at it."

McGraw said he didn't "like or agree" with everything Trump says, adding, "no human is perfect".

"You don't have to love everything about someone in order to love them," he continued.

"He's got lots of enemies, different groups that are scared, and between them, they have impeached him, indicted him, raided him, railroaded him, shot him and sued him.

"And where is he? He is still standing."

"The last thing he needs is some celebrity endorsement," McGraw added.

"What the hell do I know? I know I'm no celebrity to begin with, and celebrities don't know anything about policies or politics

Eva Longoria took to the podium at the Democratic National Convention in support of Kamala Harris and the Democratic party.

The crowd burst into applause as the Desperate Housewives star took to the stage, sharing that it was an "honour to be part of this historic moment".

She shared that she has known Harris "for more than a decade" and the two have both learnt the importance of hard work. 

"We were both raised knowing that no one was going to hand us anything, especially as women," she shared.

She continued to explain both herself and Harris climbed the ladder of success from their early days working in hospitality.

"She worked at McDonald's but I worked at Wendy's, and look at us now," she said to a cheering crowd.

Longoria said the success would not have been possible without the support of family.

"You see, Kamala and I were able to see beyond the horizon because our families supported our big dreams," she shared, adding that Americans are "all part of one family".

As she encouraged Americans to vote for Harris, she shared that it's important to "support each other's dreams because Kamala's success is our success".
