The hairstyling pro and Netflix TV personality — who came out as HIV positive in an interview promoting his new memoir last week — tweeted his support for the presidential candidate on Wednesday. He wrote to his more than 780,000 Twitter followers:

The moment I knew I was endorsing @ewarren was last month when I misplaced my HIV meds. It cost $3500 to replace them out of pocket with “amazing” plantinum level insurance. Healthcare shouldn’t be for profit ever, it’s a human right. — Jonathan Van Ness (@jvn) September 25, 2019

Warren, one of the more progressive of the dozen-plus Democrats vying to be the party’s 2020 nominee, is a supporter of “Medicare for All.”

It's not the first time that the 32-year-old Van Ness, who identifies as nonbinary, has gotten political.

Warren tweeted a video of her call thanking Van Ness for his endorsement.

"I'm glad we're going to be in this fight together, side by side. I love the endorsement, for all the right reasons," she said.

Thank you for your support, @jvn! Shoulder to shoulder, we’re going to fight for #MedicareForAll. No one should be able to make a profit off of denying people health care—and together, we’ll win. pic.twitter.com/8aF4Ut55jq — Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) September 26, 2019
