All the Hollywood stars who said they're leaving the US over Trump’s presidential win
The election hangover is in full swing today and while the party is ongoing in the 'MAGA' camp, there are millions of Democrats with a headache.
President-elect Donald Trump ended up winning by a landslide after crucially taking five of the seven swing states from rival Vice-President Kamala Harris, while leading the count in the remaining two - Nevada and Arizona.
The 78-year-old Republican shocked the world as he took the key battlegrounds of Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina and Michigan from the Democratic nominee - while notably taking four of the five electoral votes in the hotly-contested state of Nebraska.

Trump said it would be a 'golden age' for America as he declared his victory, meanwhile, Harris said: "The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for.
"But hear me when I say the light of America's promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.
"While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign. The fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness and the dignity of all people."
There were drinks spilt up and down the country, but not everyone was as jubilant as Trump's faithful, with many a celeb having reacted - and in some cases even saying they're fleeing the US due to Trump's win.
Without further ado, these are all the Hollywood stars who have said they're on the first plane out.
Sophie Turner
The Game of Thrones actress, who played Sansa in the HBO epic, has vowed that she will 'get the f*** out' of America following Trump's win and return to her home country of England.
Cher
The 78-year-old 'If I Could Turn Back Time' songstress detailed claims to UK publication The Guardian that she suffered with health issues that were caused directly from Trump being in charge of the country in his first term and that she would be outta here if he won again.
America Ferrera
The Barbie star, who was nominated for an Oscar for her involvement in the film, is another Hollywood A-lister planing on jetting off to the UK with her husband and two young children.
A source close to the Ugly Betty actor claimed: "America is sick that Donald Trump is president again.
"She is devastated that Kamala lost. She thought the country she lived in was better than that."
Raven-Symoné
The That's So Raven star confessed in a podcast interview back in July that she would leave the US if the billionaire wins the election.
Timeline: What happens now Donald Trump is president-elect?
Here are the key dates to be aware of as the rest of the year unfolds.
November 26 - New York hush money sentencing
Trump could be sentenced for up to four years in prison after he was convicted of 34 counts of fraud in a hush money case in May.
New York jurors found him guilty of illegally influencing the 2016 election through a payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, who said the two had sex. Trump pleaded not guilty, arguing the allegations he faces are not criminal.
Lawyers are expected to ask for his November 26 sentencing to be delayed. Sentencing a president-elect ahead of Inauguration Day would be unprecedented in US history.
The sentencing, initially scheduled for July 11, has already been postponed twice before. A July US Supreme Court ruling found that presidents have broad immunity from prosecution over their official acts.
December 5 - Racketeering case hearing
Trump and 18 co-defendants were charged under racketeering laws in Georgia for an alleged conspiracy to reverse his narrow defeat in the 2020 election.
All defendants are charged with one count of violating Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute, which carries a penalty of between five and twenty years in prison. Trump pleaded not guilty.

Nine co-defendants, including the President-Elect, are calling for lead prosecutor Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to be disqualified from the case over alleged misconduct stemming from a romantic relationship she had with a former deputy. The case is paused while the Georgia Court of Appeals decide whether to disqualify Willis.
Oral argument hearings are scheduled for December 5.
Trump's lawyer said he will seek to pause any activity related to Trump based on an argument that a president should not face the burden of a criminal prosecution while in office.
December 17 —Electoral college voting begins
Electors of each state meet to select the President and Vice President on the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December.
Each state chooses its representatives to the Electoral College, a number based on the size of each state’s population and how many representatives and senators it has in Congress.
Representatives are sworn to vote for the candidate who got the most votes in that state.
December 25 - Electoral votes must arrive
The president of the senate and the archivist must receive certificates recording the electoral vote results no later than the fourth Wednesday in December — this year, Christmas Day. The results of each state’s electoral votes are then sent to the newly elected Congress, who are sworn in on January 3.

January 6 - Electoral college vote count
Congress meets to formally count and announce the electoral college votes. The past two elections, the counts were announced on January 6. In 2021, this triggered the Capitol Riots
by a mob Trump supporters after he lost to President Elect Joe Biden.
January 20 - Trump's inauguration
The 47th Presidential Inauguration will be held on the west front of the US Capitol in Washington D.C on Monday, January 20, 2025. The president-elect and his vice-president-elect, JD Vance, will be sworn in and take office.
Inauguration Day falls on a Monday, meaning it will be a federal holiday for US citizens.
