Cher retracts statement ‘Leave America’ if Trump wins

Cher is retracting her statement that she would leave the United States if Donald Trump was elected president – which he did on Tuesday, November 5.

The sensational singer, 78, who initially cited health concerns as the main reason for the move, has decided she would rather stay in the US amid a steamy romance with her 38-year-old boyfriend, Alexander ” AE” Edwards.

The singer – who has a transgender child, Chaz, 55 – insisted that she does not know what the UK government’s plans are for transgender people and revealed that she does not put “anything above them ,” according to her statement to ‘The Guardian.’

“Last time I almost got an ulcer,” she said. “If he comes in, who knows? This time me will leave [the country]”, the superstar told the media. That said, it seems like she has had a change of heart thanks to her lover, ‘AE’, whom she has been dating since September 2022.

Cher, who was recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, is not only committed to her relationship, but also doesn’t want to pull him away from her young son, according to ‘Daily Mail’.

That said, the “Believe” singer isn’t the only one who’s expressed the possibility of leaving the country, as it seems actress Laverne Cox can sympathize with those feelings, detailing her frustration. the hope she felt when she saw the results on Election Day.

It was reported on Thursday, November 7 that the ‘Orange is the New Black’ star is still planning on moving, along with transgender friends who she believes may want to move. “We are researching different cities in Europe and the Caribbean,” she added.

Whoopi Goldberg also faced the election results, along with the majority of ‘The View’ co-hosts, who wore black the day after the election to “mourn” the passing of the Party candidate Democrat, Kamala Harris.

“He’s the president now – I still won’t say his name,” Goldberg said. “That won’t change.”
