Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick has been a vocal supporter of United States President Donald Trump. Recently, she took to her Instagram to support Trump's decision to revoke Dr. Anthony Fauci's security.
The 42-year-old Patrick ventured into stock car racing in 2010 under former NASCAR team Stewart-Haas Racing after her successful stint in the IndyCar Series. She achieved greater heights as a professional race car driver and became the first woman to win an IndyCar race. After dominating the motorsports field, she took an interest in politics after attending the 2023 TPUSA America Fest with her sister.
Former top US health official Anthony Fauci faced death threats since he led the country's COVID-19 response, and on January 24, 2025, President Donald Trump withdrew his $15 million security. Trump explained the reason behind his decision and stated, via BBC:
"You can't have a security detail for the rest of your life because you work for government. It's very standard."
Earlier this week, Trump also revoked security from other officials, including Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and Brian Hook. Patrick supported the decision and shared the post on her story, giving a two-word reaction. She wrote:
"Damn right."
According to a US media report, Dr. Fauci has hired his personal security and will pay for himself.
