He possessed roughly 246 electors. The trans actress stated on the “Just for Variety” podcast, “I was just like I’m out.” “I shed tears.”
Cox shared her concerns about the trans community and herself. Even with all of my advantages, I’m afraid as a public figure, and I’m especially afraid because of that. I think I might be the target. Speaking of the Trump campaign, Cox stated, “I believe they spent almost $100 million on anti-trans advertisements.”

Following her breakup with DNCE singer Joe Jonas, British actress Sophie Turner recently made her way back to the UK. The Game of Thrones star also acknowledged that she was uncomfortable with the status of American politics, even though personal factors played a significant role.
At the end of October, she told Harper’s Bazaar, “I knew it was time to get the f*** out of there,” adding, “The gun violence, Roe v. Wade being overturned, everything just kind of piled on.”
Turner expressed her relief and happiness at returning to the magazine.
“Women in the United States are being deprived of their rights, left, right, and centre,” she told British Vogue in May. All of that had a part in the sentiment that I had to leave.
