Patrick Mahomes is still trying to avoid all the political controversy surrounding his family in recent times. Donald Trump’s victory in the Presidential Election was the latest ‘hurdle’ for the Kansas City Chiefs QB, who has tried at all times to stay out of the election campaign and not side with any candidate.
Patrick Mahomes has maintained a non-partisan approach throughout, emphasising the importance of individual choice in the electoral process. In an interview with Time magazine earlier this year, Patrick made it clear that he does not wish to influence anyone’s voting decisions.
Taylor Swift and Brittany looked concerned at the Chiefs game
“I don’t want to pressure anyone to vote for a particular president,” Patrick said. “I want people to use their voice, believe in whoever they believe in. I want them to do their research,” he added.

An objective that is not proving easy for the Chiefs star, as the rest of his family has spoken out at some point, mostly showing their support for the Republican candidate and now elected Donald Trump.
Brittany Mahomes’ support for Donald Trump
His wife Brittany was the first to show her political preferences months ago, after liking a post on Donald Trump’s Instagram account. A simple gesture that, on the contrary, unleashed a wave of comments in contrast to her attitude, not only with her husband, but also with Taylor Swift, the well-known partner of fellow Chief Travis Kelce and with whom she has a deep friendship.
In fact, for a time there was speculation that Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift had broken off their friendship because they were politically opposed, as the pop star publicly endorsed the Democratic Party and its candidate Kamala Harris.
Jackson Mahomes, with Trump after Pennsylvania attack
Jackson Mahomes is often considered the black sheep of his family due to his constant scandals, but he had never shown his political leanings… until now. In this election, Patrick’s younger brother surprised everyone by showing his support for Donald Trump.
In his Instagram Stories, Jackson posted one of the photographs that circulated on social networks after the attack on Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, in which the president could be seen bleeding from an ear and surrounded by Secret Service agents raising his fist.

Randi Mahomes supports Trump during Chiefs game
If all this were not enough, just one day before the election, Patrick Mahomes’ mother, Randi, appeared at the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wearing a MAGA hat (“Make America Great Again”), making it clear to everyone who she was voting for.
Patrick Mahomes curbs his family’s political impulses
All of Mahomes’ family’s support for Donald Trump contrasts with the absence of celebrations on their social networks after the victory of the candidate they supported. Neither Brittany, nor Jackson nor Randi have spoken out this time, perhaps restrained by Patrick’s attempt to remain neutral in their political affiliations.
However, both the Chiefs QB’s wife, brother and mother will be more than happy with the victory in the elections of ‘their’ candidate. Will we see them celebrate Donald Trump’s victory at some point? Will they run again when the ‘MAGA’ leader takes office in January? The only thing that seems clear is that Patrick Mahomes will continue to try to keep politics out of his public life and his work on the field.
