Simone Biles Urges Biden to 'Make Things Shake' in Light of Trump Victory

Late Wednesday, U.S. Olympic champion Simone Biles took to social media to share her thoughts on the recent 2024 presidential election results in which Donald Trump was projected to defeat Kamala Harris in both the popular vote and electoral college.

Simone Biles Calls on Joe Biden to Take Action

Biles directed her message to President Joe Biden, urging him to “make things shake” before leaving office. In her post, she expressed a sense of urgency for Biden to assert himself in his final days in the presidency, imploring him to stand up and make a difference for the women in America.

Biles Critiques Trump's Comments

Despite largely steering clear of direct political commentary during the 2024 election, Biles subtly referenced Trump’s controversial remarks about illegal immigrants “taking Black jobs.” She expressed her discontent with Trump’s dismissive approach to the unique challenges faced by Black communities through her tweet, “I love my Black job.” Biles' response highlights her commitment to advocating for the representation and acknowledgement of Black individuals in the workforce.

Biles' Recognition by President Biden

It’s worth noting that Simone Biles was previously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Joe Biden in July 2022, recognizing her extraordinary achievements as the most decorated U.S. gymnast in history with an impressive 32 Olympic and World Championship medals.

Kamala Harris Concedes with Resilience

After her defeat, Kamala Harris addressed her supporters with unwavering resolve. Harris expressed gratitude for the trust bestowed upon her and urged her audience to remain hopeful for a brighter future. Her powerful message emphasized the importance of perseverance and encouraged people to continue fighting for their ideals, even in the face of electoral defeat.
