Kamaru Usman endorses Donald Trump
The Auchi-born star took to social media on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, to share his thoughts on the forthcoming election.
The US presidential election is tightly contested between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democrat nominee vice-president Kamala Harris.
Usman who left Nigeria for the USA stated in his post that he has voted Democrats but is switching to the Republicans.
He explained his reason for the switch citing family reasons and why he believes in Trump.
He said, “Growing up Democrat and starting to understand the state of politics over the last few decades.
“I know how I want to live and how I want to raise my family.
“Make the choice that aligns with your beliefs and aspirations for your future @realdonaldtrump.”
The decision by Usman comes after he was involved in a heated exchange with a Trump loyalist Colby Covington.
