The recent victory of Donald Trump over Kamala Harris in the presidential elections has left many celebrities pondering a major life change—leaving the United States.
These stars are vocalizing their dissatisfaction with the election outcome, considering relocation rather than staying for another potential four years under Trump’s leadership.
It was a tense night in the United States as votes were tallied. Trump, declared the winner, celebrated with supporters in Florida, characterizing his victory as a unique political movement.

Emphasizing the unity in his voter base, he promised to usher in a “golden age” for the country, despite the divided reactions from celebrities and the public alike.
Across social media, stars have passionately shared their views, with some openly declaring their plans to seek new homes abroad.
Barbra Streisand Considers England
Last year, acclaimed singer and actress Barbra Streisand stated on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that she couldn’t fathom staying in the U.S. if Trump succeeded in his re-election attempt.
Expressing her approval of Joe Biden’s tenure for its compassion and intellect, Streisand was clear: “I will move,” she declared, pointing to England as her likely destination.
This wasn’t Streisand’s first admission of possible migration. Years earlier, during the 2016 election cycle, she similarly mentioned options like Australia or Canada.
Cher’s Resolve to Leave
In a recent interview, Cher shared her dread at Trump’s potential return to the presidency, confessing that it caused immense stress during his previous term.

She’s even voiced concerns over the challenges facing the transgender community in the U.S., especially in relation to ongoing legislative battles. Famously, Cher once joked about moving to Jupiter should Trump win, highlighting her dramatic opposition.
Sharon Stone Eyes Italy
Sharon Stone, the legendary actress, revealed plans to possibly relocate to Europe, specifically Italy, in response to Trump’s campaign. This proactive thought stems from her disapproval of the negativity she perceives as underpinning Trump’s politics.
Stone had initially shown hope for Kamala Harris by donning a sweater that hinted at a female presidency, but the election results mean such a vision will have to wait.
Reflecting on Past Promises
Previously, several celebrities proclaimed intentions to leave the country if Trump was elected. Over time, however, many clarified their statements as jokes or expressed second thoughts.

Miley Cyrus famously reacted to Trump’s first victory with an Instagram outburst about moving. However, she reflected on her words later on, critiqueing herself for even entertaining departure as an option, defending instead the need to speak out within the U.S.
Similarly, Lena Dunham’s previous talk of moving to Canada was revisited. She initially appeared steadfast in her intent to relocate, but later discussions revealed her commitment to addressing issues at home rather than fleeing.
Dunham ultimately settled in the U.K. with her husband, British musician Luis Felber.
Bryan Cranston and Thoughtful Patriotism
Back in the 2016 election period, Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston voiced his plan to become an expatriate should Trump win.
Despite Trump’s victory, Cranston chose to remain focused on positive change within America, expressing a wish for the nation’s healing rather than leaving.

Comedian Amy Schumer stirred headlines with her humorous claim of moving to Spain to learn the language if Trump became president. She later clarified the joke, emphasizing unity and protecting what she believes are core American values.
Whoopi Goldberg’s Continued Stand
Veteran actress and TV personality Whoopi Goldberg has often been misinterpreted as saying she would leave the U.S. over Trump’s presidency.
Addressing these misconceptions, she repeatedly clarified that while critical of Trump’s policies, she had no intention of leaving her homeland, reiterating her commitment to direct interaction and advocacy within America.

Goldberg, vocal on social issues, has historically challenged rhetoric she finds harmful, continuously championing staying put and facing the issues head-on.
Such discussions indicate not merely the personal preferences of these celebrities, but broader sentiments echoing through parts of the entertainment industry.
Whether anyone actually departs the U.S. remains to be seen, but the conversation around political and social climates continues robustly.
