Jason Sudeikis proudly wore a sweater showing his horse in the race for the upcoming elections while sitting courtside at the Liberty-Aces game.
The Ted Lasso star and regular at Barclays Center enjoyed Game 1 of the semifinal series between last year’s WNBA title contenders on Sunday night.
With many eyes on the WNBA playoffs, Sudeikis showed that he is backing Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in their campaign for November’s presidential and vice presidential races.
As he enjoyed women’s hoops in Downtown Brooklyn, Sudeikis wore a sweater that read ‘Harris & Walz & Joy & Liberty.’ The base of the sweater was black with the text printed in the Liberty’s signature seafoam green.
The actor parlayed his sweater with black pants and seafoam Kevin Durant sneakers with pink laces.

The Liberty won at home as they bested the defending champions, 87-77 to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
Breanna Stewart led the game in scoring with 34 points, followed by Sabrina Ionescu’s 21. Meanwhile, Jonquel Jones recorded a double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds in the evening.
