Well, well, well — look who just got caught slam dunking for cash. NBA superstar LeBron James, who once told the world his endorsement of Kamala Harris was a heartfelt choice made “for my kids,” just got exposed in a way no defense could block. According to freshly released Federal Election Commission records, Harris’s now-defunct, ultra-expensive presidential campaign quietly handed $50,000 to LeBron’s production company, SpringHill Entertainment, shortly after his endorsement post went viral.
So much for that whole “personal decision” narrative.
Let’s be clear — LeBron’s post, which went out to nearly 100 million followers, was pure campaign gold for Harris. “When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!” he wrote. Turns out the only thing clear was the price tag.
And this wasn’t some isolated little payout. Nope — the Free Beacon’s report shows that Harris’s $1.5 billion campaign (yes, with a B) was basically a Hollywood payout scheme disguised as a presidential run. This was the most expensive Democratic campaign in U.S. history… and easily one of the most embarrassing.
Oprah Winfrey’s company took home a cool $1 million for a sit-down. Beyoncé’s team grabbed $165,000 for a rally cameo. Cardi B — who loudly insisted she wasn’t paid — somehow collected $58,000. Al Sharpton’s nonprofit walked off with half a million right before Harris got softball treatment on his show. Jennifer Garner? $35K for “travel and production.” The Obamas? A hundred grand for “appearances.” You know, the usual stuff that definitely helps working families in Ohio.
NEW: LeBron James said endorsing Kamala Harris in a viral Trump-bashing video was a personal decision “for my kids.”
But new disclosures show Harris’s campaign quietly paid his production company $50,000 after the post.
That was just one check.

In the end, all that glitz and glam didn’t buy votes. Kamala Harris lost to President Trump by 86 electoral votes — the worst general election defeat for a Democrat in decades. All those celebrity endorsements, all that “influencer strategy,” and all that virtue-signaling didn’t move the needle where it counted: the American heartland.
Meanwhile, President Trump ran a lean, focused campaign that spoke to real issues: inflation, border security, energy independence, law and order. No Beyoncé. No LeBron. Just results.
Democrats bet big on Hollywood star power and woke slogans. Trump bet on the American people — and he won.
Turns out that when you try to buy the presidency with celebrities instead of policy, you end up with a lot of Instagram likes… and a second Trump term.
