Angel Reese admittedly ‘woke up speechless’ after Donald Trump‘s electoral victory over Kamala Harris on Tuesday night.

‘I’m so disappointed in America,’ the Chicago Sky star wrote on X. ‘Some of you just couldn’t selfishly put your pride aside huh??!?!?’

Reese’s particular issues with Trump were not explained in her posts, other than to hint she disagrees with the President-Elect’s hand in restricting reproductive rights during his first term in the Oval Office. Trump nominated conservative Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett between 2017 and 2020, leading to the 2022 Dobbs ruling, which gave states the power to regulate abortions.

‘As a woman, i’m heartbroken for us all,’ the 22-year-old wrote online.

Reese ended her posting on Tuesday morning on a more positive note.

Angel Reese said she is ‘heartbroken’ for all women after Donald Trump’s electoral victory

‘God is the best author and the best finisher,’ she wrote. ‘I’m just going to pray on this & think positive.’

The WNBA is coming off a wildly successful 2024 season, but it wasn’t long ago that the league was known more for its ‘unrelenting activism,’ as Harper’s Bazaar put it, than actual basketball. Reese’s rivalry with Caitlin Clark, as well as the exciting WNBA Finals between the Las Vegas Aces and champion New York Liberty, helped to change that over the summer.

But, with Trump’s return to the White House and America now headed in a more conservative direction, WNBA players could once again embrace protest.

In 2020, particularly, players rallied around the Black Lives Matter movement and took a stance against Atlanta Dream co-owner and Republican senator Kelly Loeffler, who has since sold her share of the team and lost a re-election campaign.

‘I adamantly oppose the Black Lives Matter political movement, which has advocated for the defunding of police, called for the removal of Jesus from churches and the disruption of the nuclear family structure, harbored anti-Semitic views, and promoted violence and destruction across the country,’ Loeffler wrote in 2020.

Dream players arrived at the team’s next game wearing shirts reading ‘Vote Warnock.’

Perhaps as a result, Reverend Raphael Warnock enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity before pulling out an upset in the special election.
