LeBron James Endorses Kamala Harris For President

Basketball superstar LeBron James endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president on Thursday.

In a social media post, the Los Angeles Lakers forward said the choice is clear.

What are we even talking about here?? James tweeted on X . When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!

Along with his endorsement, James posted a video highlighting racist and divisive rhetoric of her rival, former President Donald Trump . The video also played clips from Trumps Madison Square Garden rally last weekend in New York City, which featured comedian Tony Hinchcliffe , who made racist remarks about carving watermelons with a Black man.

In 2008, James endorsed Barack Obama  for president and held a free concert with Jay-Z in Cleveland. And in 2016, he campaigned for former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons failed bid for the presidency against Trump. 

James has made his dislike of Trump clear. In 2018, the NBA all-star said Trump doesnt give a fuck about the people.

The number one job in America, the appointed person, is someone who doesnt understand the people and really dont give a fuck about the people, James said in a video. And this time right now, with the president of the United States, its at a bad time. And while we cannot change what comes out of that mans mouth, we can continue to alert the people that watch us, that listen to us, as this is not the way.
