Ellen DeGeneres And Her Wife Leave US For Trump

Television personality Ellen DeGeneres, 66, and her wife, Portia de Rossi, among the most notable lesbian couples in the United States, have reportedly decided to leave the United States after Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election.

According to ‘The Wrap’, the couple plans to put their Montecito, California, home on the market soon. Trump’s return to office is said to have played a big role in their decision.

Reports indicate that DeGeneres has relocated to the Cotswolds in south-central England, a picturesque area about two hours away from London.

In August, DeGeneres voiced her support for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign through Instagram. “There’s nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come!!” she wrote. “I can’t wait for @KamalaHarris to be our next president.”

DeGeneres has been outspoken about her opposition to Trump. In 2017, she explained why she would not invite him to her show. “I’m not going to change his mind,” she said. “He’s against everything that I stand for. We need to look at someone else who looks different than us and believes in something that we don’t believe in and still accept them, still let them have their rights.”

Kamala Harris once appeared on DeGeneres’s show during her earlier presidential campaign. During the interview, Harris joked when asked about being stuck in an elevator with Trump. DeGeneres asked, “If you had to be stuck on an elevator with either President Trump, Mike Pence, or Jeff Sessions, who would it be?” Harris replied with a laugh, “Does one of us have to come out alive?”

This comment resurfaced during the summer, causing controversy among conservatives after multiple assassination attempts were made against Trump.

Attempts to contact DeGeneres through a press email on Thursday were unsuccessful, as the email address returned an error, according to ‘The National News Desk’.

Trump ran on the platform of respect of marriage between man and woman unlike Kamala Harris who embraced the left of centre advocates of LGBT rights.

Meanwhile, former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen recently reversed his earlier statement about leaving the country if Trump won. In September, he told MSNBC he would leave the U.S., but later clarified that he has no plans to go anywhere. “I said I was leaving, and then the following day I said there’s no chance in the world I’m leaving my country,” Cohen explained during a livestream. He added, “I’m not leaving anywhere, you leave. This is my country.”

GWG.ng reports that such assertions of leaving ones country in the event of political foes triumphing is not limited to the United States. Chief Bode George, former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP chief had once vowed to relocate from Nigeria should Bola Tinubu win the presidency. He, however, changed his mind after the declaration.
