As the election season heats up, Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris has garnered attention, but Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has decided to remain neutral and not endorse any candidate. Despite former President Donald Trump expressing admiration for Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, Mahomes encourages voters to seek out information and make their own decisions regarding the election.
“I think I’ve always said I don’t want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate,” Mahomes stated when asked about Trump’s comments regarding his family. He emphasized the importance of informing people about voter registration and encouraging them to conduct their own research.
In a related segment on Fox, Trump referred to Brittany Mahomes, saying, “I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better…she’s a big Trump fan.” He indicated that he was not a fan of Taylor Swift but appreciated Brittany’s support for his political stance.
Recently, Swift, along with Travis Kelce and the Mahomes, was seen together during the U.S. Open finals, where they were captured embracing in a suite. When questioned about the significance of their camaraderie amid contrasting political affiliations, Mahomes highlighted the unifying nature of shared goals, not focusing on political differences.
Mahomes stressed that his priority is to foster positivity and community engagement. He maintained that political comments made by figures like Trump don’t personally affect him, reiterating his commitment to uplifting others in his community regardless of the political climate.
