LeBron James endorses Kamala Harris for president, calls choice clear

gazette.com

LeBron James endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president on Thursday, calling the choice "clear" for his family. His support adds to a list of celebrity endorsements for Harris in her campaign against Republican Donald Trump. Harris is in a tight race with Trump, and her campaign aims to strengthen support among Black men, a group showing signs of shifting toward Trump. Recent polls indicate a decline in Black men's support for Harris compared to Biden in 2020. James previously endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020. Concerns exist within the Democratic Party that too many celebrity endorsements could create a perception of elitism, similar to the 2016 campaign.
