Overview

  • Kamala Harris’s campaign paid $50,000 to LeBron James’s SpringHill Entertainment for 'campaign event production,' according to financial disclosures released this week.
  • LeBron James posted a 75-second endorsement video for Harris on October 31, 2024, but did not appear at any campaign events.
  • The endorsement video, titled 'Hate Takes US Back,' was criticized for allegedly using misleading edits to portray Donald Trump as aligned with white supremacists.
  • The payment, made in January 2025, months after the election, has drawn attention for its lack of clarity on what services were provided.
  • The Harris campaign’s $1.5 billion spending, including significant payments to celebrities, has been criticized by donors after the party’s worst presidential defeat in decades.
