Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has maintained a neutral stance on political matters, unlike his wife Brittany who recently sparked controversy by liking a post from Donald Trump. While Brittany faced backlash from critics, Mahomes has steered clear of revealing his political beliefs, focusing instead on promoting voter registration and involvement.
In 2020, Mahomes joined LeBron James’ “More Than a Vote” campaign to increase African American voter turnout, but did not publicly endorse a candidate. He stated that he didn’t want to influence voter opinion, instead encouraging people to “use their voice” and “do the research.” This stance remains unchanged as the 2024 presidential election approaches.
Mahomes and the Chiefs have been involved in various initiatives to promote voter registration and involvement. In 2020, they pledged to start a voter registration project in Kansas City, and the quarterback has emphasized the importance of people exercising their right to vote.
The Chiefs have been invited to the White House twice, following their Super Bowl victories in 2023 and 2024. However, they did not attend the White House invitation from Trump in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mahomes’ neutral stance on politics has been maintained despite his wife’s recent controversy. Brittany sparked outrage by liking a post from Trump, which led to a heated response from critics. However, Mahomes has chosen to stay out of the political fray, focusing instead on promoting civic engagement and voter participation.
The quarterback’s decision to remain apolitical has earned him praise from some quarters. His commitment to promoting voter registration and involvement has been seen as a positive step, especially in a country where voter turnout is often low.
As the 2024 presidential election heats up, Mahomes’ stance on politics is likely to be closely watched. However, it seems clear that he will continue to prioritize promoting civic engagement and voter participation, rather than taking a public stance on political issues.
