Patrick Mahomes Avoids Political Discussions
Patrick Mahomes prefers not to delve into political conversations. Recently, former President Donald Trump mentioned Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, praising her as “a big Trump fan” during a Fox News segment. This prompted questions about the family’s political stance.
Mahomes’ Stance on Political Endorsements
Mahomes clarified his position in an interview with A to Z Sports on September 11. He stated, “I’ve always said I don’t want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever either way.” Instead, the 28-year-old quarterback believes his role is to “inform people to get registered to vote,” encouraging individuals to “do their own research and then make their best decision for them and their family.” He views personal decision-making as a key aspect of what makes America exceptional.
Mahomes’ Views on Diversity and Unity
Reflecting on his experiences, Mahomes shared, “I’ve grown up with people from every aspect of life and every background.” He values the unity found in diverse environments like football and baseball locker rooms, emphasizing the importance of focusing on people’s character rather than their political views. He added, “Whenever I’m hanging out with whoever, I’m not thinking about their political views. I’m thinking about the people and how they treat other people.”
Impact of Trump’s Comments on Brittany Mahomes
Regarding Trump’s remarks about Brittany—whom he shares children Sterling, 3, and Bronze, 20 months—Mahomes does not believe it will influence her. “I think at the end of the day, it’s about me and my family and how we treat other people,” he noted. Mahomes also highlighted Brittany’s community involvement, stating, “Brittany does a lot in the community.”
Family’s Focus Amid Political Climate
The Mahomes family intends to remain unaffected by political debates, focusing instead on living their lives fully. Their name came up again in political discussions following Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump commented on the situation, expressing a preference for Brittany over Swift and labeling her as “a big MAGA fan.”
Trump’s Remarks on Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes
Trump remarked, “I was not a Taylor Swift fan. It was just a question of time.” He also criticized Swift’s support for President Joe Biden and implied that such endorsements might have repercussions. “But I like Brittany. I think Brittany is great,” Trump concluded, referring to her as “the one I like much better than Taylor Swift.”
