Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has made it clear that he’s not throwing his support behind any candidate in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. This decision comes after his wife Brittanyfaced criticism for liking a post from current Republican nominee Donald Trump, and his teammate Travis Kelce expressed interest in attending the recently finished Democratic National Convention.
Brittany found herself in hot water after she appeared to support Trump’s policy positions on Instagram, facing immediate backlash from fans. In response, she called out the “deep-rooted issues” of outspoken fans in a post of her own. On the other hand, Kelce had reached out to Kamala Harris’ campaign about attending the DNC, but was unable to make it due to the Chiefs’ preseason action against the Chicago Bears.
Patrick Mahomes brings a fan to tears
Despite these events, Mahomes has remained neutral in his stance. He has previously taken steps to address social and political issues, including joining LeBron James’ More Than a Vote campaign to increase African American voter turnout in the 2020 election.
However, he has made it clear that he does not want to pressure anyone to vote for a specific candidate. In an interview with TIME magazine, Mahomes stated, “I don’t want to pressure anyone to vote for a certain president. I want people to use their voice, whoever they believe in. I want them to do the research.”
Patrick responds to political backlash
It’s worth noting that Mahomes is not alone in his decision to abstain from endorsing a candidate for the upcoming election. Actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson also recently declared that he will not be endorsing anyone for this year’s election after having done so in 2020.
In the midst of all this, Mahomes is gearing up to lead the Chiefs in their pursuit of an unprecedented season. While his off-field stance on politics remains neutral, his focus on the field is unwavering.
In conclusion, Mahomes’ decision to stay out of the political endorsement game reflects a desire to encourage people to make their own informed decisions when it comes to voting. As he put it himself, “I want people to use their voice, whoever they believe in. I want them to do the research.” It’s a reminder that everyone has the right to their own opinions and choices when it comes to politics. And as for Mahomes, his attention is firmly fixed on leading the Chiefs to success on the football field.
