Chicago Sky ace Angel Reese is urging her supporters to head to the ballot boxes for the 2024 Presidential Election showdown between Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, who has claimed victory.
Reese took to social media to share a series of messages with her fans nationwide, urging them to exercise their democratic rights in the election.
Athletes in the sports world have been encouraging people to vote, with LeBron James openly supporting Harris and explaining his reasons for endorsing her candidacy.
Standing in contrast to James’ political stance is San Francisco 49ers’ Nick Bosa, who, after a victory against the Dallas Cowboys, appeared in a “Make America Great Again” hat during an interview, showing his allegiance to Trump’s camp.
Despite not revealing her voting preferences or wearing a “MAGA” cap, Reese played her part in motivating the electorate with a straightforward plea on her X account the night before the election: “please VOTE.”
To strengthen her message, Reese posted a selfie on her Instagram story with the caption “I voted,” emphasizing the importance of casting a vote. To conclude, Reese made a final call to action on her X account: “GET UP and VOTE.”
Having previously avoided public political discussions, Reese shared her voting intentions. In August, when asked about her electoral preferences, Reese chose not to disclose, mentioning a lack of research to make an informed decision at that time.
Trump made a surprising appearance on the ‘Let’s Go!’ podcast to praise Clark, the standout player for the Indiana Fever, and acknowledging her impact on the WNBA’s growth.
“Well, you’d like to do that, but it’s a very complicated thing, it’s very unusual,” Trump commented on a potential salary increase for Clark.
Connecticut Sun star DiJonai Carrington shared her election day nerves on social media, posting: “my stomach been in knots all day,” and urging everyone to vote.
In a bold move, the Seattle Storm publicly endorsed a presidential candidate. In late October, they announced on social media: “Seattle has endorsed Harris for president,” becoming one of the few sports teams to publicly support a candidate.
