LeBron James Officially Backs Kamala Harris in New Social Media Post

The NBA star has a longstanding history of supporting the Democratic Party.

NBA superstar LeBron James has joined a growing list of high-profile celebrities supporting Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

Amid Halloween celebrations, the Los Angeles Lakers star took to his social media platforms to share a video that combined scenes of civil rights protests and historical abuses over several decades with clips of Donald Trump’s remarks and footage from his recent rally at Madison Square Garden. The video implied that the former president holds racist views, concluding with the quote: “Hate takes us back.”

In his caption, the four-time championship winner wrote, “What are we even talking about here??” He added, “When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!”

The father of three has had a history of supporting Democratic candidates, hosting a concert for Barack Obama in 2008 and campaigning for Hillary Clinton in 2016, including an endorsement essay and a rally introduction in Ohio.
