New Delhi: Handing a shocking defeat to his Democratic rival Kamala Harris, Republican leader Donald Trump has emerged victorious in the US presidential election, securing a second term. The re-election of the 78-year-old leader is being hailed by many as one of the most remarkable comebacks in American history. However, it seems that a few Hollywood celebrities are not pleased with his victory.
On Wednesday (November 6, 2024), actress and film producer Jamie Lee Curtis took to Instagram to express her feelings on the matter. Through a lengthy post on the popular photo-sharing platform, she implied that Trump’s victory signals a likely return to a more restrictive, some fear draconian, time. She added, “We know that many women will now find it difficult to get the reproductive healthcare that they need and deserve.”
