Political views

In 2000, when he was labeled a Democrat, Stewart generally agreed, but described his political affiliation as "more socialist or independent" than Democratic. Stewart has also voted for Republicans, the last time being in the 1988 presidential election when he voted for George H. W. Bush over Michael Dukakis. He described Bush as having "an integrity about him that I respected greatly". He has been a vocal proponent of single-payer health care system.

Stewart has spoken against Israel's mistreatment of Palestinians. In 2023, Stewart, alongside other media figures, signed an open letter urging president Joe Biden to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
