Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ mother, Randi, made a political statement on Monday night during the Chiefs’ Week 9 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Randi, wearing a “Make American Great Again” hat, sent a message in a video on social media: “Make American great again, let’s do it.”
While Patrick Mahomes declined to endorse a candidate during this election cycle, his family — and other members of the Chiefs organization — have not shied away from revealing their political opinions.
“I don’t want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever, either way,” Mahomes said earlier this year. “I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote. It’s to inform people to do their own research and then make the best decision for them and their family.”

While Patrick Mahomes took that stance, his wife, Brittany, appeared to like an Instagram post in support of Trump. She called out the “haters” after she received backlash for it.

“To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood,” a post on Brittany Mahomes‘ Instagram story read. “There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.”
In addition to Brittany’s involvement in the election, Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker publicly endorsed Trump in October at a Josh Hawley for Senate event.
“I’m supporting the president that’s going to be the most pro-life president,” Butker said. “It’s a topic that is the most crucial topic for me. I want us to be fighting for the most vulnerable, fighting for the unborn.
“That’s what we should prioritize and that’s obviously what Senator Hawley is doing as a man of faith. You have to vote for whoever is going to be the most pro-life. We have to be prayerful man to put God first and I think that’s what is going to be best for our country.”
On the other side, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce‘s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, endorsed Kamala Harris for president on her Instagram.
“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,” Swift wrote. “I’m voting for Kamala Harris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate Tim Walz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”
The election will take place on Tuesday.
