Steph Curry and Steve Kerr told Warriors players not to worry about Trump election win, teammate says

Curry and Kerr were vocal supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris during the election

Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry and head coach Steve Kerr were backing Vice President Harris pretty passionately in the recent election.

However, her crushing loss to President-elect Donald Trump did not stop them from focusing on getting a big win against the Boston Celtics last week, according to a team player.

Second-year Warriors shooting guard Brandin Podziemski told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview what the vibe of the team’s locker room was like after Trump’s landslide victory over Harris last week. Podziemski says Curry and Kerr made it a point to stay focused on the upcoming game.

“We were in Boston and our focus was beating the Celtics,” Podziemski said. “Whoever was elected, we’re going to have to deal with it anyways, and so Steve and Steph and the whole group made it a point to just focus on the game because that’s all we could control.”

Podziemski suggested that there was a diverse range of opinions in the Warriors’ locker room but very few conversations about the actual election results.

The Warriors got the win against Boston last Wednesday 118-112.

Curry had 27 points that night, as the team is off to a fast 9-2 start to the season.

Both Curry and Kerr were vocal supporters of Harris during the cycle, with both making speaking appearances at the Democrat National Convention in July.

Kerr even went so far as to mock Trump on stage during his speech, boasting that Democrats would be able to use Curry’s famous on-court celebration upon a Trump defeat, but that prediction was wrong.

“After the results are tallied that night, we can, in the words of the great Steph Curry, we can tell Donald Trump, ‘Night, night!’” Kerr said as he rested his head on his hands like a pillow.

However, since the election results on Tuesday, both Curry and Kerr have congratulated Trump on his win and wished the next president luck.

“It’s a situation where Trump won. Congratulate them on a hard-fought campaign,” Curry told reporters after the Celtics game. “The whole part about how this country’s supposed to work is everybody supporting each other and coming with the right intentions to lead the country in the right direction. That’s my hope. I don’t hold any resentment or ill will. You want these next four years to go great for everybody.

We want accountability on that front, too.”

Podziemski, who is originally from the suburb of Greenfield, Wisconsin, first came to the Bay Area in 2022, when he transferred from the University of Illinois to Santa Clara University. He was drafted in the first round by the Warriors in the 2023 NBA Draft and has stepped up as an effective bench player in his second season during the team’s hot start.

As much as he has looked to Curry and Kerr as leaders and champions, he does not see their political activism as something he would necessarily follow himself.
