LeBron James Endorses Kamala Harris: A Clear Vote for a New Anniversary
NBA Superstar LeBron James Endorses Kamala Harris for President
NBA superstar LeBron James has once again weighed in on the political arena. This time, he has publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for the upcoming presidential election. Posting on his Instagram account, James made his support evident, stating:
"[Kamala Harris] has my vote."
This endorsement comes just days before the elections, highlighting James’ commitment to using his platform to instigate positive change.
Instagram Video Exposes Trump’s Extremist Rhetoric
In a divisive move, James posted a video that highlights former President Donald Trump’s use of extreme and violent rhetoric. The video includes a hilariously offensive joke from comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at Trump’s rally last week, making a blatant racist joke about watermelons.
James Emphasizes the Importance of His Vote
James’ endorsement of Harris carries weight given his significant influence. With 159 million followers on Instagram, James has the ability to sway a large audience. His call to action was clear:
"What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!"
Historical Endorsements by LeBron James
This is not the first time James has put his political weight behind a candidate. In 2016, James endorsed Hillary Clinton. Additionally, in his presidential runs, Joseph Biden and Barack Obama both received James’ support.
Kamala Harris’ Athletes Group
Harris has been actively engaging with athletes by launching an athletes group for her campaign back in September. NBA stars like Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry also appeared at the Democratic National Convention to support her campaign. Despite these early endorsements, LeBron James comparatively waited until near the election to publicly endorse Harris.
Final Thoughts
LeBron James’ endorsement of Kamala Harris is a powerful show of support for change in the political landscape. By using his platform to encourage his followers to "Vote Kamala Harris," he not only exercises his democratic right but also empowers his audience to do the same.
