Steph Curry is backing Hillary Clinton for the 2016 presidential election.
The two-time MVP spoke at TechCruch in San Francisco on Tuesday. While taking questions, he was asked about the upcoming election and who he was going for. His answer was short: “Hillary.”

He was also asked about Colin Kaepernick’s protest during the national anthem. Curry had previously voiced his support for Kaepernick’s protest and message. He echoed that stance on Tuesday, but he did say that he’ll probably stand for the anthem when the Warriors begin their season.
Stephen Curry says he'll "most likely stand" during national anthem this year, but supports Kaepernick
Curry said of Kaepernick:
“I’ll most likely stand. If you follow the way he talks and the message he’s trying to send with his act, from his mouth, he’s not disrespecting veterans. He’s not disrespecting military. That’s not his intention. He’s obviously continued the act to create a conversation for more social justice and things of that nature. So, I’ve been a part of certain conversations off the grid, and finding different ways to make our community better, especially for African Americans. And so, that’s not the way that I would do it, but I support him in his attempt to start a conversation or continue the conversation.”
