Steph Curry would not rule out an eventual run for political office.
Curry appeared on “CBS This Morning” to promote his new children’s book, “I Am Extraordinary,” and they showed a clip of him appearing at the White House to celebrate the Warriors’ most recent NBA championship, leading to the question of if he would ever consider a run for president.
“Maybe,” Curry said.
Asked if he had an interest in politics, Curry answered, “I have an interest in leveraging every part of my influence for good in a way that I can, so if that’s the way to do it, then, I’m not saying the presidency, but if politics is a way you can create meaningful change, or if there’s another way outside of politics that we can do …”
Curry agreed with the statement that he’s not “ruling it out” in terms of one day running for political office, but laughed that it wouldn’t come as soon as 2028.
Curry, 35, is a 10-time NBA All-Star, two-time league MVP, four-time champion and widely regarded as the greatest three-point shooter of all-time.
His “Eat. Learn. Play.” foundation supports nutrition and education for children in the Bay Area.
Earlier this month, his wife, Ayesha, announced that they are expecting their fourth child together.
“For so many years, Stephen and I thought we were done,” Ayesha told Sweet July magazine. “We said, ‘Three, that’s it, we’re not doing this again.’ And then, last year, we looked at each other and agreed we wanted to do this again.
“For me, the decision came from always finding myself looking around and feeling like somebody was missing. I would load up the car and think, ‘Oh, I forgot something.’ But nobody was forgotten.
“It started to turn my brain a little bit. Maybe somebody was missing. So we set out on this journey, knowing that this would complete our family.”
