Eva Longoria worries about America after Donald Trump wins the election

After President Biden dropped out and endorsed his No. 2, Vice President Kamala Harris, as president, a number of celebrities stepped up to champion the former prosecutor, including actress and Texas native Eva Longoria.

“Kamala’s success is our success,” Longoria told an audience in Chicago at the Democratic National Convention in August. “And she supports us to dream big, too. So let me tell you — in the Latino community, our community — we have a saying, ‘Si Se Puede!’… It means ‘Yes We Can!’ But tonight I’m here to tell you, ‘Yes She Can!’ So we’ll say, ‘She Se Puede!'”

But she didn’t.

Soon after the presidency was called for Trump, a bruised Longoria tried to remain upbeat. “I’d like to think our fight will continue,” she said Marie Claire in a new interview. Noting that she thinks the country is “a scary place,” she added, “If he keeps his promises, it will be a scary place.”

As Trump returns to the Oval Office, Longoria will flock back to one of her two homes outside the United States. For several years, the “Desperate Housewives” star has split her time between Spain and Mexico with her husband, José Bastón, and their husband. 6-year-old son, Santiago.

“I’m privileged,” she admitted. “I’m going to escape and go somewhere. Most Americans aren’t so lucky. They’re going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anguish and sadness is for them.”

Despite Trump being named president-elect, the shock element has lessened for Longoria, who retired to her bed when he was first elected in 2016. “I’ve never been depressed in my life,” she recalled from that time. “It was like, ‘Does my vote really matter? Am I really making a difference?'” she said. “I was so untethered to the core of what I believe because I really believed in my soul that the best person wins. And then it happened and I was like, ‘Oh, wait.’ The best person doesn’t win.'”

Days after the 2024 election, Longoria could say she wasn’t shocked by the election results for the same reasons she had been once before. “The shocking thing is not that he won,” she admitted. “It’s that a convicted felon who spews so much hate could hold the highest office.”

Longoria noted in the interview that she lived in the United States for “her entire adult life”.

“But even before (the pandemic), it was changing. The mood was different. And then COVID happened and it pushed it over the edge. Whether it’s the homelessness or the taxes, not that I want to s— — in California — It just feels like this chapter of my life is done now,” she said.
