Eleanor Clift (born July 7, 1940) is an American liberal political reporter, television pundit, and author. She is a regular panelist on the nationally syndicated show The McLaughlin Group.
Clift portrayed herself in Independence Day and appears in the beginning of the movie on The McLaughlin Group speaking about the ineffectual leadership of President Thomas J. Whitmore saying, "That's the problem. They [the public] elected a warrior and they got a wimp!"
Clift portrayed herself again in an exclusive deleted scene from Independence Day: Resurgence, "McLaughlin Group Discusses the ESD". She appears in The McLaughlin Group debating with Pat Buchanan, Tom Rogan and Clarence Page on whether the United States should continue to be a member of the Earth Space Defense.
