Paris: USA basketball star Stephen Curry gave his public backing to Kamala Harris's bid for the White House on Thursday and believes Olympic glory will help unite the country ahead of November's US presidential elections.
The Golden State Warriors ace has a strong friendship with the US vice-president, who was born in Oakland and is a long-time fan of the seven-time NBA champions.
Harris, a former California senator who launched her political career after stints as a San Francisco prosecutor, is poised to battle Donald Trump for the presidency in November after Joe Biden's decision to drop out of the campaign.
Curry, who is competing in his first Olympics, described the political turmoil back home as a "very interesting time for our country".
"Vice-president Harris is trying to bring her energy to this campaign and hopefully, you know, she's on the ticket and winning the election," Curry told a packed press conference in Paris.
