Former Vice President Kamala Harris was thrust into a Presidential Candidate after the Democratic Party announced Joe Biden would no longer be in the running. While Harris garnered a tremendous amount of support, Donald Trump wound up becoming the 47th President of the United States.
However, reports are now being leaked that Harris quietly paid a sports legend to endorse her.

The endorsement of Kamala Harris by Lebron James last year came with a huge pay day:
Records show that on Jan. 28 the former vice president paid James’ entertainment company $50,000 for “campaign event production.”
The NBA’s all-time leading scorer has long been critical of President Donald Trump, and James urged his followers to “vote Kamala Harris” the week before the election with a video that garnered criticism for out-of-context clips.
James and his longtime business partner, Maverick Carter, founded the company, Springhill Entertainment, in 2020.
“What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!” James posted on X.
With the post, James shared a video that featured negative headlines about Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden and a clip of Tony Hinchcliffe saying he and a Black person in the crowd carved watermelons. The video also features other headlines that said Trump spewed “nazi rhetoric” and clips of African Americans being assaulted.
Commenters said the clips were taken out of context and ripped James, but he doubled down days later.
“Having a daughter, having a wife, having a mother and things of that nature, what (Harris) believes in when it comes to women’s rights that’s what the future with my kids and where I see our country should be. I feel like that endorsement is only right. I mean, come on – you guys know me. It damn sure wasn’t going the other way,” he said at the time.
Carter and James have been linked since high school. The two played basketball at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, and are also minority owners of the Boston Red Sox and the English soccer club Liverpool.
