Washington D.C. – Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, known for his outspokenness on social issues, took a break from discussing his team’s upcoming game to passionately address the upcoming election.

In a press conference ahead of Tuesday’s election, Kerr stressed the importance of voting and denounced the spread of misinformation regarding election integrity. He directly criticized Fox News and former President Donald Trump for perpetuating “lies” about voting systems and undermining public trust in democracy.

“I’m voting because I know whichever side wins, I’m going to respect the election integrity,” Kerr stated. “I’m going to respect the fact that we’ve got tens of thousands of people out there working the polls who are getting harassed because of all the lies from Fox News from Donald Trump.”

Kerr, who has been a vocal advocate for gun-violence prevention and other progressive causes, expressed his support for Vice President Kamala Harris, highlighting her importance in safeguarding democratic values. “In order for our democracy to thrive, not only do we citizens have to take part, but we also have to trust that these elections are not tainted,” he said.

Kerr emphasized that despite the closeness of the race, the integrity of the election process should not be questioned. He called for voters to engage in the process and trust the outcome, regardless of their political affiliations.

“Tomorrow is a big day, and we’ve been talking about it a lot, just being here and our nation’s capital,” Kerr said. “There’s a reason we’re wearing these shirts; it’s not just an NBA-mandated thing. We believe in our democracy, and we believe in voting. We want to encourage everybody to get out and vote.”

Kerr’s impassioned plea for voters to participate and trust the democratic process comes amidst a backdrop of political polarization and concerns about potential election-related violence. His message, echoing the sentiment of many Americans, underscores the importance of civic engagement and the fight for a healthy democracy.
