Future Hall of Famer Steph Curry has been open about his political stance in recent months. As U.S. citizens head to vote on Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors star has once again thrown his support behind Kamala Harris. Over Sunday, former First Lady Michelle Obama took to X to condemn comments made by Donald Trump.
In her post, Obama questioned Trump's claims that he has done more for Black Americans than any president since Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery in the 1860s. Using an article to support her stance, Obama urged Americans to vote for Kamala Harris, which caught the attention of Curry.
In response, Curry shared Obama's post along with his own thoughts, writing:
"This is why we all need to vote! Polls are open today until 8 pm."

"Easy choice," - Steph Curry opens up on endorsing Kamala Harris
Over the past few months, NBA stars like Steph Curry and LeBron James have been vocal about the ongoing US Election. While James' endorsement came after the Lakers' met with the Cavaliers last week, Curry endorsed Kamala Harris in September.
At the time, after endorsing Harris, the Golden State Warriors star appeared on CNBC to discuss his decision. During the interview, Curry said that endorsing the Harris-Walz campaign was an easy choice, given how important women's rights are to him and his family.
"Endorsing, Kam', is important for me, for my family, especially women's rights and thinking about what's at stake with this election and understanding we need to be in a position where women have the right to choose what's right for them, and that's at the top of the list for me."
"I have amazing women in my life who've been a huge inspiration to me. But knowing Kamala and having been around her and I understand she's qualified for this job, she's I think, representing what it means to be a great leader and being a decent human being in terms of representing our country the right way. So it's an easy choice for me."
Following Tuesday's NBA hiatus, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors will be back in action on Wednesday when they face the Boston Celtics on the road. The game will be the third of five straight road games for Golden State, before they return home for a Nov. 12 matchup against the Dallas Mavericks.
In addition to that game being Klay Thompson's first regular season game back in Golden State, it will also mark the beginning of the Group Stage of the NBA Cup.
