PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: In a surprising revelation, Danica Patrick expressed her disappointment at not being invited to Donald Trump’s election night gathering held at Mar-a-Lago.

The former NASCAR star, who had been a vocal Trump supporter on the campaign trail, took to social media to share her feelings about missing the high-profile event, the Daily Mail reported.

Only a day prior, Danica Patrick had been flying aboard Trump’s private jet, Trump Force 1, after a long day of campaign events aimed at securing a win over Vice President Kamala Harris.

Patrick has not traditionally been a political figure, but she surprised fans when she joined Trump’s campaign efforts.

On social media, she posted her travels with the campaign team, spending extensive hours with Trump and other Republican supporters.

As the election neared, Patrick's dedication became clear through her continuous social media updates, calling on Americans to exercise their voting rights.

Earlier in the week, Patrick described the intense campaign schedule, recounting her experience traveling from rally to rally on Trump's private plane.

She wrote about the whirlwind pace of four rallies in a single day, ending well past midnight before they made their way back to West Palm Beach.

Sharing her patriotic energy, she posted, "Energy brought to you by a proud American. Vote like your freedom depends on it, because it does."

For Patrick, this was a chance to be part of a movement she believed in, dedicating her time and platform to promoting Trump's message of "freedom."

Patrick’s enthusiasm on the campaign trail, paired with her visibility as a high-profile athlete, helped amplify Trump’s message across various states.

Her posts garnered attention, bringing her audience into the intense world of the election, particularly through her firsthand account of Trump’s campaign journey.

But while she may have been hoping for a celebratory night at Mar-a-Lago, she found herself on the sidelines instead.

Danica Patrick turns to Instagram to share photo capturing her sense of exclusion

As results started rolling in on election night, Danica Patrick turned to Instagram to share a photo that captured her sense of exclusion.

The photo, showing her in a striking red dress alongside two friends, expressed her disappointment in not receiving an invite.

Accompanied by a caption that read, “Where was our Mar-a-Lago invite?” Patrick’s expression told the story—her sadness visible as she sat on the floor, looking up at the camera with a despondent expression.

The moment captured Patrick’s mood, contrasting the excitement she had displayed during the campaign with a quieter sense of being left out.

Her red dress seemed to symbolize the celebration she anticipated, as she had dressed for the occasion, despite not being included in the guest list.

Meanwhile, images from Mar-a-Lago painted a picture of a lively celebration.

Trump mingled with high-profile attendees, including Elon Musk and Dana White, and other Republican figures such as Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Trump's attorney Alina Habba.

Smiling selfies and candid moments from the ballroom made their way to social media, showcasing a room full of Trump’s close allies and supporters enjoying the evening as election results continued to favor the former president.
