Obama and King James discussed a number of topics. Of which included racial injustice, and the push for a more inclusive future. Obama has recognized the efforts of Lebron James and many other athletes to make sure people are voting in this election.

The “More Than A Vote” movement has picked up major steam since Lebron and other prominent figures have used their platforms to try to shed light on the importance of voting.

Lebron has a history with current President Donald Trump. It’s no secret that there is no love lost between the two. Most recently ,Trump has called Lebron “nasty” and “a hater”. James has responded by saying that he has no interest “going back and forth” with Trump.

Hence, why Lebron called Obama “my president” in his Twitter post. It is pretty clear that Lebron will not be voting red in this election.
