In August, DeGeneres publicly endorsed Harris on Instagram,
“There is nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come!! I can’t wait for Kamala Harris to be our next President,” she captioned her post.

“My entire adult life has been here,” says the “Desperate Housewives” alum. told marie claire“But even before (the pandemic), it was changing. The atmosphere was different. And then COVID happened, and it pushed it over the edge.
She said, “Whether it’s homelessness or taxes, it’s not that I want to take over California – it feels like this chapter of my life is now complete.”
While homelessness and taxes have worsened in California under the rule of Democrats, the 49-year-old actress said on the contrary that Trump’s victory was also a reason to leave.
“The shocking thing is not that he won,” said Longoria, who volunteered over the summer to turn out voters for Harris and her running mate Tim Walz. “It is such that a convicted criminal who spreads so much hatred can hold the highest office.”
“If he keeps his promises, it will be a scary place,” she said, recalling how depressed she felt after Trump’s 2016 victory.
