Angel Reese Urges Americans to Vote

WNBA rookie Angel Reese has called on American voters to actively participate in the upcoming November election, emphasizing the importance of making their voices heard. Before a game against the Phoenix Mercury, Reese acknowledged her limited knowledge about the political candidates, particularly Vice President Kamala Harris, but stressed the necessity for everyone to vote. "I haven’t been able to tap a lot into the political election... but I just continue to learn and give feedback," she stated, encouraging her fans to engage in the electoral process. While Reese did not explicitly endorse Harris, she expressed her support for former First Lady Michelle Obama’s recent speech at the Democratic National Convention, where Obama praised Harris as one of the most qualified candidates for the presidency. Reese's social media reaction, "MICHELLE SAID WHAT SHE SAID," highlighted her alignment with Obama’s sentiments, which called for unity behind Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz. As the Democratic National Convention progresses, Harris is poised to officially become the party's nominee. Reese's comments reflect a broader trend among athletes using their platforms to influence political engagement. Despite her admission of not being fully informed, Reese's call to action resonates with many, particularly as polls indicate a competitive race between Harris and former President Donald Trump. Reese's advocacy for voter participation underscores her growing influence in women's sports and her commitment to civic engagement, as she encourages her supporters to take advantage of their voting rights in this critical election.
