Glaude supported Vermont U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders' candidacy for the 2016 U.S. Democratic Party nomination for U.S. president. In a December 2016 interview with the Mississippi Press, Glaude said "Of the candidates that were present in the primaries, all of the folks who ran for the presidency, I thought Bernie Sanders was perhaps the person most closely aligned with my positions and what I thought the country needs at this present moment."[7]

In a July 12, 2016 article for Time magazine, titled "My Democratic Problem with Voting for Hillary Clinton," Glaude stated that he would not be voting for 2016 U.S. Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. He wrote that he considered her a "a corporate Democrat intent on maintaining the status quo."[8] Glaude's byline has since been removed from the article for unexplained reasons.
