Singer Cher Threatens to Leave the United States if Trump Wins 2024 Election
The famous singer, Cher, has made headlines once again with her bold declaration that she will leave the United States if former President Donald Trump defeats President Joe Biden in next year’s election. In an interview with The Guardian, Cher expressed her concerns, stating, “I almost got an ulcer the last time. If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave [the United States].”
Cher has been an outspoken critic of Trump for years, even going as far as jokingly vowing to leave Earth if he were to win a first term in a tweet back in June 2015. However, this time, her statement seems more serious and reflective of her strong opposition to the former president.
She is not the only celebrity who has threatened to leave the country if Trump were to win. In 2016, a number of high-profile stars, including Miley Cyrus, Snoop Dogg, and Chelsea Handler, made similar promises. However, none of them followed through, and it remains to be seen if Cher will carry out her threat.
Trump’s victory in 2016 was controversial, and he faced intense opposition from celebrities and public figures. Nevertheless, he managed to defeat the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton. After losing his re-election bid to Biden in 2020, Trump is now attempting to make history by becoming the second president in U.S. history to win non-consecutive terms.
Cher has been an active critic of Trump throughout his presidency, repeatedly voicing her disapproval and disdain for his policies. She has even referred to him as a “f—ing traitor” in a tweet from July 2016. At VH1’s “Trailblazer Honors” in 2019, she took the opportunity to criticize him once again while being recognized and awarded for her achievements.
The singer has also expressed concerns about the current state of America, particularly for individuals who do not support Trump. In her remarks at the event, she mentioned feeling uneasy when Trump spreads his hatred and lies but finds solace in the presence of Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House.
Despite the criticism and opposition, Trump remains a strong contender in the Republican Party. Recent polls indicate that he holds a commanding lead over his Republican challengers, with a support of around 60% among Republican primary voters. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis follows at 13% and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley at 10%.
Cher’s threat to leave the United States if Trump wins in 2024 highlights the deep divisions and passionate sentiments surrounding the former president. As the election approaches, it will be interesting to see if other celebrities or public figures make similar declarations. For now, Cher’s statement has sparked a debate about the impact of politics on the entertainment industry and the country as a whole.
