Biles missed out on her opportunity to make it to any gold podiums at the Tokyo Olympics but restored her top position by winning three golds and a silver in the Redemption tour in Paris. After her successful Olympic exploits, the 27-year-old headlined the Gold over America tour, performing across 30 US cities with her fellow Olympians. Soon after it concluded on November 3, 2024, Biles let her support known for the Democrat candidate, Kamala Harris, ahead of Election Day on November 5, 2024.

However, after the result of Republican candidate Donald Trump's victory was announced, she expressed disappointment, pointing out the history of sexual abuse allegations against the former. She shared a story on her Instagram that read:

"Over 71 million voted for a President that's been found liable for sexual abuse"

She called out Trump voters in her story caption, reading:

"This y'all?" she wrote with nauseated emojis and a pointing finger.

Simone Biles was a victim of sexual abuse during her time at the USA Gymnastics, and testified to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, blaming the system for covering up Dr. Larry Nassar's ill deeds. Cut to 2024, she was in shock when most of the US citizens elected a 'convicted felon' (via Instagram story) over a woman in the Presidential election, as evident in her Instagram story.
