Legendary gymnast Simone Biles has urged outgoing President Joe Biden to "make some things shake" in his final days in office, following the shocking re-election of Donald Trump. In a series of social media posts, Biles expressed her frustration with the results of the 2024 presidential election, where Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, securing 277 electoral votes in one of the closest races in U.S. history.
Biles, a vocal supporter of Harris, was disheartened by the outcome, especially given the close race and the contentious nature of Trump's victory. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Biles penned a plea directly to Biden: "Mr. Biden, I need you to stand up, straighten your back and make some things shake before your departure. xoxo the women in America."
As the U.S. prepares for a transition of power, with Biden still in office for the next 75 days until Trump's inauguration in January 2025, Biles has been outspoken about her discontent. On Instagram, she took aim at Trump's supporters, questioning the reasoning behind their choice. Sharing a post that read, "Over 71 million people voted for a president that's been found liable for sexual abuse," she added her own commentary with the emojis of a nauseated face, a pair of eyes, and a pointing finger, captioning it, "This y'all?"
Further expressing her disillusionment, Biles wrote, "Supporting a convicted felon over a woman is insane," alongside a post on her Instagram story. The gymnast's frustration was also evident in her posts on Threads, where she shared messages such as, "I'm so sorry America" and "We deserve better."
