With the 2024 U.S. presidential election nearing, Vice President Kamala Harris is turning to sports for support, and NBA star Steph Curry is backing her. Curry voiced his belief that Harris could bring “hope and unity” to the divided nation.
Steph Curry supports Harris because he believes in her ability to unify the country and move it forward. He also mentioned her strong connection to the Bay Area and her support for the Golden State Warriors.
He said during the media day, “Supporting her is an honor, a sophisticated leader that I expect and have confidence she can lead our country and provide hope, inspiration, and unity.”
According to USA Today, young people trust athletes, making them crucial to Harris’ campaign. Kamala is hoping for a similar effect. She visited the US men’s basketball team in Las Vegas and met Curry when the Warriors went to the White House.

Steph Curry’s message resonates with VP Kamala Harris
When Athletics owner John Fisher’s decision to move the team to Vegas was approved, Vice President Kamala Harris voiced her disappointment. Growing up in Oakland, she expressed her heartbreak alongside countless fans.
Earlier, Steph Curry expressed his feelings about Fisher’s decision, emphasizing his deep connection to the team and the city. The move occurred because Fisher couldn’t secure a deal with Oakland for a new stadium.
In her recent appearance on ALL The Smoke podcast, she said to Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, “Remember, we used to have all of them. We used to have all of them! When I go to Oakland, when I go to the bar, and you know, if like land at Oakland Airport and just pass Coliseum, it breaks my heart! And good, good teams, yeah?”
