In a significant move ahead of the upcoming US presidential election, basketball superstar LeBron James has publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the White House.
This endorsement comes as part of a growing trend of high-profile celebrities supporting Harris in her bid for the presidency.
James, known for his outspoken views and activism, announced his support for Harris through a social media post accompanied by a powerful video montage.
The video featured footage from Donald Trump’s recent Madison Square Garden rally, which has been marred by accusations of racism. James’ statement accompanying the video read:
“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!!!”
This endorsement marks the latest in a series of high-profile celebrity endorsements for Harris. Other notable supporters include music stars Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Bruce Springsteen, as well as several prominent Hollywood actors.

James’ support for Harris is particularly significant given his long-standing criticism of her opponent, former President Donald Trump.
It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time James has taken a public stance against Trump. In 2017, he famously clashed with the then-President over an invitation issue involving Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry. At the time, James responded to Trump’s announcement about the Warriors not receiving a White House visit due to Curry’s comments by saying,
“U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain’t going! So therefore ain’t no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!”
LeBron James’ tweet during that incident became one of the most popular athlete tweets of 2017, garnering over 1.1 million likes and 554,000 retweets. This latest endorsement further solidifies James’ reputation as an outspoken advocate for social justice and political causes.

The video montage accompanying James’ announcement also included historical footage depicting the US civil rights struggle and scenes from the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests following the killing of George Floyd.
The closing message of the video read, “Hate takes us back,” emphasizing the importance of progress and unity in American society.
As the November 5th election approaches, these celebrity endorsements could potentially influence voter decisions and draw attention to Harris’ campaign. However, it remains to be seen how much impact these high-profile supporters will have on the outcome of the election.
