Donald Trump has been elected as the new president of the United States. Faced with this announcement, Eva Longoria, one of the leading actresses in the series Desperate Housewives, decided to leave the USA. She says she can no longer live in a “dystopian country” run by a “convicted criminal.”
American star Eva Longoria has made her decision: she will leave the United States and continue her life elsewhere. In question? The re-election of President Donald Trump.
“I am privileged“, she declared to our colleagues at Marie-Claire, where she is on the cover of the month of November. “I can escape and go somewhere. Most Americans aren’t so lucky. They’re going to be stuck in this dystopian land, and I feel anxiety and sadness for them“.
Eva Longoria explains that her move was motivated by several factors: “change of atmosphere” of the country after the Covid-19 pandemic, the homeless situation, high taxes in California… as well as the re-election of Donald Trump.
Political commitment
Very interested in immigration policy, the Desperate Housewives star has been involved with Democratic candidates at the national and local level since 2012. She, for example, spent her summer campaigning for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the hope to convince Latino voters.

She also spoke at the national convention of the Democratic Party and actively participated in the Democratic candidate’s campaign with a slogan that used the Spanish translation of Barack’s famous “Yes, we can” (“Si se puede”) Obama to make it the expression “She se puede”.
“Discouraged” by Trump’s victory
“If he keeps his promises, it’ll be a scary place“, she told Marie-Claire. Eva Longoria believes that Trump’s victory in 2016 had already destroyed her belief that “the best person wins” in politics: “What’s shocking isn’t that he won. It is that a convicted criminal, who vomits so much hatred, could have won“.
Although her decision has been made, it is with a heavy heart that the actress will leave the United States. “I’ve lived my entire adult life here“, she explained. “I feel like this chapter of my life is now over“.
At the beginning of 2023, the actress, her partner and her son sold their house in Beverly Hills to buy a villa in Marbella, Spain.
