Patrick has also been actively sharing her political views online. She got into politics, supported President Donald Trump, attended his rallies and voted for the first time in the 2024 election. During a conversation on the "Gaines for Girls" podcast with host Riley Gaines, earlier this month, the Beloit, Wisconsin, native spoke about Trump attending the 2025 Daytona 500.

"I was so excited for sure. It's a good community for him. I mean, NASCAR is a very conservative group of people. So it's a very welcoming environment and I'm sure has been very supportive of him. But it also just shows how good it can feel when people get on the same team," Patrick said (01:01 onwards).

"And there was nothing controversial about anything that he did. It was love the country, support the troops that stand up for our country. Support those who entertain the people of this country with their skill set," she added.

Patrick also went to Washington, D.C., for Trump’s inauguration earlier this year.
