The legendary gymnast has called on President Joe Biden to take action in his final months as America prepares for the return of President-elect Donald Trump.

AceShowbiz - Legendary Olympic gymnast Simone Biles has issued a fervent call to President Joe Biden, urging him to "make some things shake" as his term nears its end following Donald Trump's presidential victory. The news comes after President-elect Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, securing 277 electoral college votes to reclaim the Oval Office.

Biles, who has been vocal about her support for Harris, took to social media less than 24 hours after the election results were announced. In a post on Threads, she lamented, "we deserve better," along with a broken heart emoji, and later wrote on X, "Mr Biden, I need you to stand up, straighten your back and make some things shake before your departure. xoxo the women in america."

The reactions have been swift and varied, with other celebrities and public figures also weighing in. Actress Christina Applegate expressed her dismay on X, asking those who voted against female and disability rights to unfollow her, while Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy cited the failure of the Democratic campaign as his reason for supporting Trump.

The president-elect's return to office has ignited discussions about women's rights, especially in light of Trump's previous role in ending Roe v. Wade. This move has allowed states to place significant restrictions on abortion access, affecting women across the nation.

President Biden demonstrated his admiration for Vice President Harris, acknowledging her concession speech delivered at Howard University. "What America saw today was the Kamala Harris I know and deeply admire. She's been a tremendous partner and public servant full of integrity, courage, and character," he stated.

With the inauguration set for January 20, Biden remains in control of the executive branch, allowing him to issue executive orders that could potentially clash with Trump's agenda. Biden has previously moved to protect federal workers from political interference, a stance that aligns with his administration's efforts to combat corruption and ensure continuity in governance.

Biles' plea and the myriad reactions it has sparked underscore a nation deeply divided and reflective about its future. As Biden counts down the final days of his presidency, his actions could have lasting implications for the policies and values that define America.
