WNBA star Caitlin Clark hinted at her political beliefs ahead of this yearâs US election by liking a social media post from Taylor Swift endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, but she stopped short of endorsing a candidate when asked by reporters on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Swift ended speculation about whether she would endorse a particular candidate ahead of Novemberâs election by telling her Instagram followers that she would be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
Clark was one of more than 10 million people to like the post but stopped short of formally endorsing Harris herself.
âI have this amazing platform, so I think the biggest thing would be to just encourage people to register to vote,â Clark told reporters on Wednesday, when asked about her decision to like the post.
âThatâs the biggest thing I can do with the platform that I have and thatâs the same thing Taylor (Swift) did.
âContinue to educate yourself on the candidates that we have, the policies that theyâre supporting â I think thatâs the biggest thing you can do. And thatâs what I would recommend to every single person that has the opportunity in our country.â
Clark has become one of the biggest stars in the league in her rookie campaign.

Since bursting into the WNBA following her remarkable college career, Clark has had to navigate the challenges that come with being such an influential figure.
Earlier this year, the 22-year-old said it was âdisappointingâ to see people using her name to push their own agendas, especially when it comes to racism and misogyny.
This, though, appears to be the first indication of Clarkâs political leanings ahead of the presidential election.
The WNBA and its players have regularly engaged with societal and political issues. At this yearâs Olympic Games in Paris, Team USAâs womenâs basketball team emphasized their endorsement of Harrisâ presidential bid before going on to win gold in a dramatic final against France.
Womenâs basketball players have also had influential voices in key elections before.
In 2020, the Atlanta Dream protested against the teamâs then co-owner â then Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who was running for reelection against Rev. Raphael Warnock â over her opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement. That race ended up going to a run-off and Warnock defeated Loeffler. Heâs now serving as a senator from Georgia.
