With the 2024 United States presidential election only a couple of months away, celebrities from various fields are declaring their support for their preferred candidates. Accordingly, there is considerable interest in which candidate Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, is supporting, especially since his wife Brittany Mahomes has publicly backed the Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Here is what we have discovered on whether Mahomes is a Trump supporter.
Is Patrick Mahomes a supporter of Donald Trump?
As of early September 2024, Mahomes hasn’t publicly supported either Trump or his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, choosing to remain neutral. Further, in a recent interview, he advised people to do their own research before stepping into the polling stations.
“I don’t want to pressure anyone to vote for a certain president,” the three-time Super Bowl champion told Time magazine. “I want people to use their voice, whoever they believe in. I want them to do the research,” he added.
Mahomes’ comment comes after Brittany Mahomes drew criticism for supporting Trump. The whole controversy started when she liked Trump’s Instagram post about the 2024 GOP Platform in August. People found out about it, and after facing backlash, she reportedly retracted her like, but then liked comments made in favor of Trump.
The 45th U.S. President even posted an update on Truth Social, thanking Brittany Mahomes for her support.
“I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me, and the fact that MAGA is the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country,” the post read.
“With Crime and Illegal Immigration totally out of control, INFLATION Ravaging all Americans, and a World that is laughing at the stupidity of our hapless ‘leaders,’ it is nice to see someone who loves our Country, and wants to save it from DOOM. What a great couple – See you both at the Super Bowl!” it further read. (via @TrumpDailyPosts on X, formerly Twitter)
