Bette Midler's provocative joke about drinking Drano if Donald Trump won 2024 presidential race backfires

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Iconic actress and singer Bette Midler, 78, stirred up social media this week with a dramatic message about the 2024 presidential election, reported The Mirror.

Known for her vocal political views and support of the Democratic party, Midler took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a controversial post, threatening a grimly humorous protest if Donald Trump won the presidency.

However, it seems that Midler's post has backfired as Trump has now declared victory in the elections amid ongoing counting.

Bette Midler claimed she would drink Drano if Donald Trump won

In the viral post, Bette Midler displayed a bottle of Drano, a popular and toxic drain cleaner, paired with a bottle of champagne.

She humorously labeled the champagne bottle with a sticky note reading “Kamala wins” and the Drano bottle with “Trump wins.”

Her post has since racked up over 57,000 likes and nearly 7,000 retweets, with fans and followers reacting to Midler’s fiery words and dramatic symbolism.

Midler’s humorous but intense approach added her to a growing list of celebrities who openly supported Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz.

Alongside Midler, several high-profile celebrities made appearances at rallies and shared their personal reasons for supporting the Democratic ticket.

High-profile celebrities who supported Kamala Harris

In a notable moment at a recent Houston rally, superstar Beyonce took to the stage to speak passionately about the future of the country.

Born and raised in Houston, Beyonce addressed the crowd not as a global music icon but as a “mother” who worries about the state of the nation her children will grow up in.

“I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother,” Beyonce declared.

“A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we’re not divided.”

Her speech was met with cheers from supporters who echoed her call for unity and a better future.

Beyonce continued by urging Americans to imagine a world where girls and young women see “what’s possible with no ceilings, no limitations.”

She stressed that her support for Harris is a vote for that future. “We must vote, and we need you,” she said, leaving the crowd with a resonant message of empowerment and hope.

Lady Gaga, another influential celebrity, also voiced her support at a rally in Philadelphia.

Speaking at the iconic “Rocky steps” on the eve of the election, Gaga delivered a powerful message about women’s voices and their historical lack of representation in decision-making.

She acknowledged the struggles women have faced in America over the years, expressing hope for a future where all voices are heard.

“For more of this country’s life, women didn’t have a voice,” Gaga said, addressing an emotional crowd. “Yet we raised children, we held our families together, we supported men as they made the decisions. But tomorrow, women will be part of making this decision.”

It seems all this star power didn't help Harris as Trump appears to have declared victory in a recent speech, though it is important to note that counting is still ongoing, reported Fox News.
