Hollywood star Eva Longoria made a strong appeal urging people to vote for the Democrats, emphasising the importance of preventing Donald Trump’s return to the office.

Donald Trump, Republican presidential nominee, and former US president, faced flak over his “in four years, you don’t have to vote again” remarks after some Democrats said that his comments, directed at a Christian audience, signalled his plans to be a “dictator”.
