Rachel Maddow Follows Ellen to England, Says Goodbye to America, “Never Coming Back”
Rachel Maddow, MSNBC’s leading voice of progressive politics, has packed her bags and announced her plans to join Ellen DeGeneres in England following Donald Trump’s return to the White House. The news sent shockwaves through media circles and social media alike, marking yet another high-profile departure of a public figure vowing to leave America in protest of its political trajectory.
“I’ve spent years fighting for the soul of this country, but the soul has spoken, and apparently, it’s okay with this madness,” Maddow said during her final broadcast. “If that’s the case, I’m okay with Heathrow.”
For over a decade, Maddow was a fixture on MSNBC, dissecting political scandals and challenging conservative narratives with razor-sharp wit and meticulous research. But after Trump’s recent victory and a GOP wave that flipped key battleground states, Maddow admitted she felt defeated.
“I’ve been fighting the good fight, but it seems America’s idea of ‘good’ has changed,” Maddow said. “And frankly, I need a break.”
Her plans to move to England follow Ellen DeGeneres’ announcement last week that she, too, was leaving the country, citing exhaustion from the political climate. The two media icons reportedly discussed the move during a private dinner, where they joked about forming an “Expat Resistance League.”
