Lawrence celebrates Biden victory with a ‘party for one’ in Boston

- By LAURA HARDING

Jennifer Lawrence shared her joy after the election of Joe Biden by throwing a “party for one” in the streets of Boston.

The Hunger Games star had endorsed the former vice - president and Kamala Harris after previously revealing she had voted Republican in the past.

She shared a celebrator y video on Twitter of a woman running through the streets of Boston after Mr Bid en defeated president Donald Trump.

In the clip the woman can be seen in pink pyjama bottoms and a grey top, and a leopard print mask as she runs up and down the street and flips her hair.

It is unclear if Lawrence was the one filming or running around.

She wrote: “Had no choice but to throw a party for 1 #come on boston lets party .”

She previously told a podcast she “grew up Republican” and for her first time voting supported John Mccain over Barack Oba main the 2008 US presidenti­al election.

“I was a little Republican,” the 30-year-old said.

Last month Lawrence sought to clarify her political beliefs, saying she has switched sides.

She said :“I grew up in a Republican family and voted for John Mccain in 2008, but through Obama’s presidency, and growing up to realise I was voting against my own rights, I am proud to say I am a Democrat.”

During her appearance on Dear Media’s Absolute - ly Not podcast, Lawrence, a best actress winner for Silver Linings Playb o ok, said Mr Trump’s election “changed everything”.

She said :“This is an impeached president who’s broken many laws and refused to condemn white supremacy and it feels there’s been a line drawn in the sand.”

When she endorsed the Democratic ticket, she said: “Voting is the foundation of our democracy and our freedom. And I would consider this upcoming election the most consequent­ial of our lifetime.

“Donald Trump has and will continue to put himself before the safety and wellbeing of America. He does not represent my values as an American, and most importantl­y as a human being.”

Meanwhile, Lord Alan Sugar gave Mr Trump his marching orders by deploying the catchphras­e he once shared with the president when they hosted versions of TV show The Apprentice on different sides of the Atlantic.

The British businessma­n, who has appeared on the competitio­n show since 2005, wrote on Twitter: “@ realdonald­trump it is with regret You're Fired!”
