On Tuesday, the same day the presidential election officially started, it was announced that Donald Trump would become the 47th president of the United States, beating Kamala Harris. Many big names have spoken on the matter, including LeBron James.
James quickly took to Instagram to post. a photo of him and his daughter Zhuri with a heartfelt caption that read, “HEAVY ON MY HEART & MIND THIS AM MY PRINCESS 👸🏾!! PROMISE TO PROTECT YOU WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE AND MORE!! WE DONT NEED THEIR HELP! 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎.”
However, what seemed like a sweet post has many social media users calling out James for using his daughter to gain sympathy or for the wrong reasons.

Of course, LeBron has been very outspoken about the 2024 presidential election, similar to many athletes.
“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!!!” he wrote on X just six days before the election.
Just between X and Instagram, James has over 200 million followers and is one of the most recognized athletes in the world, so his endorsement was worth paying attention to.
