Ben Simmons makes clear where his allegiance lies originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Ben Simmons wants you to vote in the 2020 election and he's made it known where his allegiance lies. As if calling President Donald Trump an idiot and more a few years ago wasn’t enough, shortly before midnight Friday, Simmons used the power of his 977K-follower Twitter account to endorse Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Most recently in June, Simmons undermined Trump’s leadership abilities calling him “cowardly” and his words “cold.”
For someone who doesn’t tweet regularly, Simmons’ message Friday is the third mention about voting on his feed in the last 10 days, which speaks to his passion about getting people to cast their ballot.
