Los Angeles Lakers star Lebron James endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president on Thursday while sharing a video about former President Donald Trump’s “hate.”
“What are we even talking about here??” wrote James in a social media post. “When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!”
James attached the endorsement to a video compilation of some of Trump’s most controversial remarks, which also included comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke at a Trump rally about African Americans carving watermelons for Halloween.
“Hate takes us back,” the video concluded.
James’s endorsement received nearly 100,000 likes on X.
James has been vocal about his political beliefs, endorsing former President Barack Obama in 2008, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016, and President Joe Biden in 2020.
The NBA player praised Harris on social media in 2020, criticized the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, and expressed support for Israel in 2023.
Over the years, James and Trump have also repeatedly traded insults.
In 2022, Trump invited James to join his women’s basketball team, while in 2018, Trump attacked James for taking part in an interview with Don Lemon.
“Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!” he wrote.
