Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry isn’t angry at Donald Trump winning the 2024 United States Presidential Election as he concedes the 78-year-old Republican won fair and square as he earns four more years in charge of the nation.
Wednesday morning’s result was a shock to bookmakers, pollsters and citizens across the country as the billionaire upset the cards once again to defeat the Democrats’ Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz.
So he will return to the White House on January 7 until 2029, only this time with the backing of the Representatives, Senate and Supreme Court which are now dominated by Republicans, effectively handing him a blank check as president.
As a result, there has been an outpouring of anger at the news, but Curry admitted he isn’t upset at the outcome and believes democracy was the winner on November 5.
“I supported her and the DNC. It’s a fair election,” Curry told Esteban Bustillos. “It’s a situation where Trump won. Congratulate them on a hard-fought campaign.
“The whole part about how this country’s supposed to work is everybody supporting each other and coming with the right intentions to lead the country in the right direction. That’s my hope.
Thank you for watching
“I don’t hold any resentment or ill will. You want these next four years to go great for everybody. We want accountability on that front too.”
What did the exit polls say?
Curry was just one of the celebrities to endorse Harris, which also included Taylor Swift, Harrison Ford, Robert de Niro, Cardi B and Eminem but the star power wasn’t enough to overturn the momentum from Trump’s camp.
Voters found issues such as the economy, immigration and border control, and housing to be key to their lives and ended up trusting Trump and the Republicans to solve those issues more effectively than the Democrats.
That led to key swing states voting red such as West Virginia, Florida, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona, giving the convicted felon 295 electoral college votes and 72.7 million popular votes compared to 226 for Harris and 68m for the Democrats.
