In a post after Vice President Kamala Harris conceded on November 6, 2024, Madonna shared that she 'stuffed my face with this cake,' reflecting her frustration.

Other celebrities, including Taylor Swift and Jamie Lee Curtis, have also expressed their dismay over Trump's re-election, calling for continued activism against tyranny and for women's rights.

Madonna has consistently criticized Trump since he took office, previously calling for his impeachment during a rally in 2019.
Musician Jack White criticized Trump's victory, labeling him a 'wannabe dictator' and expressing concerns over the implications for marginalized groups.
The entertainment industry has reacted strongly to Trump's win, with actress Lili Reinhart expressing heartbreak over the millions who voted for someone accused of sexual assault.
Despite Madonna's vocal support for Kamala Harris and her efforts to encourage voter turnout, Trump’s victory marks a significant political comeback.
Trump's sentencing for 34 counts of falsifying business records is scheduled for November 26, 2024, following his historic conviction earlier this year.
