Patrick Mahomes Refused To Endorse Any Presidential Candidate
Earlier this year, NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes refused to endorse a presidential candidate.
In an interview with Time Magazine, the QB said he doesn’t want to pressure anyone to vote for a certain president.
“I don’t want to pressure anyone to vote for a certain president. I want people to use their voice, whoever they believe in. I want them to do the research.”
Similarly, the football player said,“his place is to inform people to get registered to vote.
He added,
“It’s to inform people to do their own research and then make the best decision for them and their families,”
Patrick Mahomes’ Wife Brittany Appeared To Support Trump
In addition to his mom, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback’s wife also seemed to support Trump.
As reported by the New York Post, on 13 August, Mrs. Mahomes began a social media frenzy after indicating her support of Trump after liking and then unliking the former president’s Instagram post.

The post from the Republican presidential nominee outlined the “2024 GOP Platform.”
Brittany found herself in the hot water following this. Then, she took to her Instagram stories to seemingly respond to the backlash.
“I mean honestly, To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood. There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.”
Soon after, Trump thanked Patrick Mahomes’ wife on Truth Social, saying, “I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me.”
Since then, Brittany has stayed out of politics except to respond to critics on social media.
As reported by Yahoo News, when asked about Trump’s comments on his wife, Patrick avoided the question.
The quarterback reportedly said,
“At the end of the day, it’s about me and my family and how we treat other people. Brittany does a lot in the community, and so do I. We help people use their voice.”
“In political times, people will use things here and there, but I can’t let that affect my daily life and how I live it to the best of my ability.”
