Danica Patrick voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
Patrick previously supported the businessman, saying last year he was “best president we’ve ever had,” and called him the “rational, reasonable choice" during the 2024 election.

In February, Patrick announced she was "red-pilled."
“It was only a little over a year ago that I went to my first ever political event, which was AmFest here in Phoenix," she said via The Spun. "Like I had never paid attention to politics, and in fact, quite specifically avoided the news and had since like 2018."
"So after going to that event, I posted some photos of my sister and I, and it just said that ‘I love this country’ and it was a divisive comment to so many and grabbed a lot of attention, which was ridiculous,” Patrick added.
