My infant daughter to run for president: Zooey DeschanelLos Angeles, Sep 6 (AZINS) American actress Zooey Deschanel has joked her baby daughter will run for president.

The “New Girl” actress, who welcomed a baby girl with husband Jacob Pechenik recently, says the child could give the likes of Donald Trump and Kanye West, both of whom have thrown their hats into the race, a run for their money.

"My infant daughter is going to run for president. She remains silent on all of the key issues but she's much cuter than Donald Trump,” she tweeted, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Zooey, 35, and her husband secretly wed over the summer and welcomed their first addition, and “New Girl” co-star Lamorne Morris says the baby is "extremely cute".
