Simone Biles Calls on Biden to Act Swiftly in His Final Months After Trump’s Election Win

Just a day after Donald Trump secured victory as the 47th President of the United States, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles reached out to President Joe Biden, urging him to use his remaining time in office to make impactful changes. Through a social media post, Biles addressed Biden directly, expressing a desire for urgent action before his term ends.

“Mr. Biden, I need you to stand up, straighten your back, and make some things shake before your departure. xoxo the women in America,” she wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). The seven-time Olympic medalist voiced her sentiments publicly, highlighting the importance of Biden’s remaining months in office.

Biles’ reaction followed her earlier response on Threads, where she reflected on Vice President Kamala Harris’ unexpected loss. In a heartfelt post, she wrote, “we deserve better,” followed by a broken heart emoji, adding, “I’m SO sorry America.” Her comments captured the sentiment shared by many Americans who were disappointed by the election results.

Kamala Harris Reflects on Election Defeat During Concession Speech

Vice President Kamala Harris, addressing supporters at Howard University on November 6, reflected on the election outcome in a concession speech. Her campaign had organized a large election night event at her alma mater, where she spoke candidly about the results.

“My heart is full today,” Harris began, acknowledging the efforts of her supporters and the disappointment that many felt. “The outcome of this election is not what we hoped, not what we fought for, not what we voted for,” she said, before encouraging resilience among her supporters. “But hear me when I say… the light of America’s promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.”

Harris also shared that she had spoken with Trump to congratulate him, promising her team’s cooperation in ensuring a smooth transition of power. “I also told him we will help him and his team with their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power,” she stated.

Emphasizing the importance of respecting democratic norms, Harris reminded the public, “A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results. Anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it.” She concluded by affirming a commitment to the Constitution above any single individual or political party, underscoring, “We owe loyalty not to a president or a party but to the Constitution of the United States.”

As the nation moves forward, Biles’ words resonate as a call to action, urging Biden to make a final impact and underscoring the continued push for progress within American democracy.
