NBA superstar LeBron James endorsed Kamala Harris for president, posting on Instagram that the “choice is clear” in the election.
This afternoon, James posted a video of Donald Trump using extreme and violent rhetoric. The video also included a clip of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe from Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally earlier this week, making a racist joke about he and a Black friend carving “watermelons together.” The video ended with the message, “Hate Takes Us Back.”
James wrote, “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!!!” He has 159 million followers on Instagram.
James also endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Barack Obama in his presidential runs.
Harris had launched an athletes group for her campaign in September, and Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry appeared at the Democratic National Convention. James, though, waited until now to endorse, leading to some speculation that he would sit on the sidelines given the polarized nature of the campaign.
