The star of VH1's 'Love and Hip Hop' shows has withdrawn her endorsement of former President Donald Trump after learning more about his education policies.
- October 21, 2024
AceShowbiz - Alexis Skyy is no longer endorsing Donald Trump. Skyy, who had previously expressed support for Trump during an interview with KISS 104.1 FM, announced her change of heart on Instagram. She explained that her initial decision was made prior to Trump's statement on the Department of Education (DOE).
In an interview on Fox News' "Fox & Friends", Trump announced his intention to close the DOE and defund public schools that teach certain subjects. Skyy's research into Trump's plans led her to reconsider her support.
"After familiarizing myself with both candidates, I will no longer be voting for him," Skyy wrote in an Instagram Story.
Skyy's decision has sparked a mixed reaction on social media. Some users have praised her for being open about her change of heart, while others have criticized her for not educating herself about Trump's policies before endorsing him.
Trump's education policy proposals have drawn criticism from educators, parents and civil rights activists. His plan to dismantle the DOE has raised concerns about its impact on federal support for public schools, student loan programs and civil rights enforcement in education.
Skyy's experience underscores the importance of being informed about political candidates and their policies before making public endorsements. As the 2024 presidential election approaches, voters are urged to research candidates thoroughly and consider their policy proposals rather than relying solely on endorsements or sound bites.
