Actress Eva Longoria, famous for the popular American drama Housewives in Crisis, expressed her disappointment at the results of the U.S. presidential election and said she decided to leave the U.S. and live abroad for the time being.
In an online interview with fashion magazine Marie Claire, Longoria said, "The shocking part about the presidential election is not that Trump won. That a convicted criminal, who unleashes so much hate, can hold the highest office."Longoria, a
Latin American, has been a longtime Democratic supporter, actively campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris in the run-up to the presidential election.
"I want to think that the fight continues," Longoria said after the election, "but if he (Trump) fulfills his pledge, the United States will be a scary place."
Longoria now lives in Spain and Mexico, moving back and forth between the regions with her husband and 6-year-old son, and said, "I'm privileged to leave the United States."
"I escaped (the U.S.) and went somewhere, but most Americans aren't that lucky," he said, adding, "They're going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and I feel worried and sad thinking about them."
He also warned the Democratic leadership early on that Latino voters in the United States are increasingly vulnerable to conservative appeals due to economic problems, he said. "I've been shouting that we shouldn't take Latino (Democratic) votes for granted. We have to win and win this vote at every election," he stressed.
Longoria is from Texas, and his family has lived in Texas for nine generations.
Earlier, the U.S. political media The Hill cited Google's search data on the 6th, when Trump was confirmed to be elected, and reported that the search volume for keywords such as "Migration to Canada" and "Migration to Canada" in the U.S. jumped more than 5,000% compared to the previous one.
Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado, and New Mexico are the regions with particularly high searches for immigration, as well as competing states.
