UFC Star Justin Gaethje Casts Vote for Donald Trump: ‘Proud to Represent the USA’

UFC star Justin Gaethje has publicly announced his support for former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Gaethje revealed on Friday that he had cast his vote for Trump, expressing his pride in being an American and representing the USA.

In a post on the social media platform X, Gaethje wrote, “Just cast my vote for (Donald Trump). Proud to be an American since the day I was born. Proud to represent the USA. Get out there and vote for whoever you think will lead this country to peace and prosperity for this is all we strive for. Either way, continue to be a good neighbor. We need each other as much as ever.”

Gaethje’s endorsement comes after he appeared at a Trump rally in Michigan last week, where he spoke to Arab Americans. He described the final days of the presidential campaign as the “championship rounds,” highlighting the significance of states like Michigan in the election.

The former interim UFC lightweight champion has been vocal about his political leanings, and his support for Trump adds to the diverse range of public figures weighing in on the election. Gaethje’s announcement is particularly noteworthy given his influence in the sports world and his ability to reach a broad audience.
