The United States presidential election of 2024 is drawing near, and as more famous personalities declare their support, the presidential discussions are taking unexpected turns. North Carolina voters may be inclined to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, as legendary NBA coach George Karl recently recently urged basketball star Michael Jordan to do so.

Karl, the former coach of the Denver Nuggets, has been actively supporting Harris on social media. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), the ex-NBA coach aimed to rally support from the NBA community and North Carolina fans by urging Michael Jordan to publicly endorse the vice president.

“I want Michael to publicly endorse Kamala Harris. It’s Taylor Swift big and will send North Carolina over the top. Which will be key to winning the Election.“ Karl wrote in his latest post on X.

Taylor Swift, an American singer, recently revealed her support for Harris in the upcoming election by saying that “the Vice President fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.” In addition to such endorsements, securing Jordan’s support could be a significant move, as Karl claims it to be vital in winning the election.

Jordan’s Endorsement: A Vital Asset from North Carolina’s Legendary Icon

Jordan, widely regarded as the greatest NBA player of all time, played college basketball for the North Carolina Tar Heels. Although he left North Carolina a year before his scheduled graduation to enter the 1984 NBA draft, he always stayed connected to the community.

In 2017, Jordan donated $7 million to establish two Novant Health Michael Jordan Family Clinics in Charlotte, North Carolina. Additionally, he donated $2 million to relief operations in 2018 after Hurricane Florence destroyed parts of North Carolina.

In February 2021, Jordan, who was recently praised by Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, gave $10 million to assist the two Novant Health Michael Jordan Family Clinics in New Hanover County, North Carolina.

Gaining Jordan’s endorsement could help Harris secure a significant number of votes from North Carolina. Karl’s suggestion might grab the Chicago Bulls legend’s attention, and it will be interesting to see his response.
