Angel Reese Says She’s Not Interested in Politics After Reporter Asks If Kamala Harris Is a ‘Woman’ Who ‘Does Her Thing’

WNBA star Angel Reese told a reporter she wasn’t educated enough on presidential politics to comment on Kamala Harris.

With the Democratic National Convention taking place in Chicago, it seemed inevitable that the Chicago Sky player would be asked a political question regarding the event.

It was journalist Brandon Robinson who met the basketball star during a media availability period where he began to ask Reese a political question but was interrupted by the athlete who wanted to politely introduce himself.

“I’m not very educated right now, but I just keep learning.”

“Hi, how are you? Nice to meet you,” she interjected.

“Vice President Kamala Harris,” Robinson began.

“Oh wow,” Reese said with a smirk.

“(Kamala Harris) is a woman and she’s doing what she can, running for president,” the reporter continued. “Have you had a chance to see her? What do you think about her running for political office?”

Reese then gave a refreshing perspective on how he didn’t feel educated enough to commentate on racing.

“I haven’t been able to get very involved in political elections…so I’m not very educated right now, but I’m just continuing to learn,” Reese said.

“Everybody needs to go vote. I congratulate him and I just tell a lot of people to go vote because we need it for this election,” she added.

Robinson did not include her question about women in the transcript of her interview, but instead positioned Reese’s response as highlighting the importance of the election because of the possibility of Harris becoming the first female president.

Reese was also asked about her hometown of Baltimore; she took the opportunity to praise Mayor Brandon Scott, a Democrat who campaigned on cutting the Baltimore police budget but actually increased it in his first term.

“I love being from Baltimore. Brandon did a great job of inspiring me and allowing me to watch him do what he did for the city. I love being able to go back with my foundation. I give a scholarship every year to St. Francis, so I continue to do that and try to do more.”

The Angel Reese Foundation’s mission is to “advance equity for girls and underrepresented groups through innovative and impactful initiatives.”
