Ex-ESPN host Sage Steele joins Donald Trump’s family and former racing driver Danica Patrick on campaign trail ahead of Presidential election

Sage Steele’s political views have been part of her brand since her initial suspension from ESPN in 2021. Now the former SportsCenter anchor has hit the campaign trail for Donald Trump alongside Danica Patrick. 

Patrick and Steele were pictured together wearing pink ‘Women for Trump’ shirts while making political stops in Georgia. 

The sports pair also snapped photos with Lara Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, and others in between campaign events at a local donut shop. 

Steele’s conservative views have not surprisingly led her to backing Trump, as her ESPN suspension came in part due to her comments about former President Barack Obama.

During a podcast appearance with Jay Cutler, Steele stated she did not like Obama calling himself black because, like herself, he has a white mother.  

Steele, Patrick, and other hit the campaign trail in support of former President Donald Trump

Steele eventually left ESPN last year after settling a lawsuit against the company, claiming it censored her free speech.  

‘If we truly love this country, we can no longer afford to live in fear,’ Steele said on social media on Thursday. ‘Time to do what’s right for all Americans. Facts over feelings. Policies over personality. It really is so simple.’ 

‘Awesome spending time with @laraleatrump some of the many supporters & volunteers for the Trump 47 campaign in Atlanta.’ 

Patrick has been just as blunt in the political arena for years as her new-bestie Steele. 

The motor-sports legend’s endorsement of Trump came weeks back, with an exclamation point to America’s critics to boot: ‘You can leave if you want’.  

Over the course of her NASCAR career – and after the fact – Patrick, 42, has been in a number of high-profile relationships. 

She dated fellow NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr from 2012 to 2017 – which was entirely while the pair were on separate teams. After Stenhouse, she dated then-Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers for a period of two years.
