“On this day 45 years ago, I appeared on television as Wonder Woman for the very first time. I am honored to be a part of this legacy and everything that it represents, and so thrilled to celebrate the power of women on such an auspicious day!” she wrote.
Although she did not name Harris directly in her tweet, she congratulated the Democrat directly in a tweet from earlier in the day.
“Beyond thrilled for my friend @KamalaHarris, who has fought for progress and justice for so long. A true stateswoman, she will show us all the things a VP is supposed to be," she wrote.

Carter is often very outspoken about her pride in having played the iconic female superhero. She told Fox News in 2016 that she gave Gal Gadot her blessing when she took on the role in 2017 for Warner Bros. and DC Comics’ latest film iteration.

“I want it to move to the next generation of women, and inspire the next generation of women,” said Carter. “There is some visceral identity that people have with the character that I played because they went in their backyards and they pretended to be her. We share that goddess within, maybe, and I enjoy hearing those stories. So I don’t really tire of it.”
