Controversial social media personality Andrew Tate commented Saturday on the upcoming presidential election, which is now just days away as Nov. 5 approaches.
Tate, who appears to be supporting Republican nominee Donald Trump in the election, invoked Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James in a post on X in an apparent attempt to explain why Trump should win the election over Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
Forget The President, look at the backup.
Its Elon Musk, Vivek, Ron Paul and JD Vance
Vs
Usher, Cardi B, Beyonce and Lebron James
How is this even a competition for who should run the country?

If you give a single fuck what singers think about politics you shouldnt even be allowed to vote.

While Tate’s list of people supporting Harris is accurate, it fails to include some high-profile endorsements she has received. Four out of the six living U.S. presidents have endorsed Harris (Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter). One of the six (George W. Bush) has declined to endorse a candidate, and the only other living president is Trump himself.
Regarding James’ endorsement of Harris, he took to social media earlier this week and made his stance clear.

The election could go either way based on polling and other predictive measures, and the country will certainly be on the edge of its seat to see how Tuesday unfolds. While there may not be a clear winner by the end of the day on Tuesday, there could be an indication of which way it’s going to go.
Harris was a late entry into the race after Biden dropped out over the summer. She had to assemble a campaign in short order, and she will soon learn the fate of her efforts.
While James currently plays in a state (California) that will almost certainly go to Harris, he’s likely hoping that his endorsement of her will have an impact across other parts of the country.
States like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin could determine the outcome of the election, so those areas will get a lot of attention on election night.
In the meantime, James and the Lakers have one more game on their schedule before voting day arrives. It will come on Monday against the Detroit Pistons, a winnable matchup for L.A. as the team looks to move to 5-2.
The NBA won’t have any games on Tuesday when the election takes center stage.
