Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes told reporters Wednesday he will not endorse any candidate in the upcoming election. He's focused on leading the Kansas City Chiefs to win a third straight Super Bowl, something no NFL team has ever done. 

Mahomes' mission comes during an election year in which the quarterback is surrounded by opposing political forces in his personal life. 

Mahomes' wife, Brittany Mahomes, earned public praise from former President Trump during an interview with Fox News Wednesday. After Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of Mahomes' longtime teammate and close friend, Travis Kelce, announced her endorsement for Vice President Kamala Harris Tuesday night, Trump said he "liked" Brittany Mahomes more than Swift anyway. 

"I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better if you want to know the truth. She’s a big Trump fan," Trump said on "Fox & Friends." "I like Brittany. I think Brittany’s great."

Patrick Mahomes was asked about the former president's comments during a press conference Wednesday as the Chiefs prepare to face the Cincinnati Bengals.

"I think you see Brittany does a lot in the community," the 28-year-old QB said. "I do a lot in the community to help bring people up and give people an opportunity to use their voice. 

"In political times, people are going to use stuff here and there, but I can’t let that affect how I go about my business every single day of my life and trying to live it to the best of my ability."

Brittany has been at the center of a maelstrom of online debate between fans and critics in recent weeks. It started with a simple Instagram like of Trump's 2024 policy platform Aug. 13. Images of the like were rapidly spread around social media channels, inciting backlash so fierce the pregnant mother posted comments to defend herself and her beliefs. 

She later liked a comment that said "TRUMP-VANCE 2024" on one of her Instagram posts. 

Online Taylor Swift fan pages were responsible for several instances of Brittany's like going viral. Swift has endorsed Democratic candidates dating back to 2018, when she endorsed Democratic candidates Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper in the 2018 U.S. midterm elections in Tennessee. 

She then endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2020, and her endorsement of Harris Tuesday arguably has a stronger impact. It's her first presidential endorsement since a surge in popularity from her Eras Tour and public relationship with Kelce. 

Swift's relationship with Kelce resulted in several publicized moments between the pop star and Brittany during Chiefs games. 

Patrick, Brittany, Swift and Kelce attended the U.S. Open men's singles final in New York Sunday. The Chiefs took care of their opening night win Thursday, leaving the group free to watch Italian Jannik Sinner defeat American Taylor Fritz in a luxury section of Arthur Ashe Stadium. Brittany and Swift were seen hugging and talking during the event. 

Their U.S. Open appearance came days after Swift and Brittany sat in separate suites at Arrowhead Stadium. Brittany and Swift had a history of sitting together in suites when Swift started going to games last year after publicizing her relationship with Kelce. Seeing the two together during broadcast cutaways became a Chiefs staple during games last season, but not on opening night last week, when the Chiefs celebrated their third Super Bowl of the Mahomes-Kelce era. 

TAYLOR SWIFT ARRIVES FOR CHIEFS-RAVENS WEEK 1 OPENER

With Swift's official endorsement of Harris, questions about whether Kelce will endorse a candidate have risen among fans and voters. 

In March, Kelce told the Los Angeles Times he and Swift shared values after they started dating just a few months earlier, both at the age of 33. 

"I think the values that we stand for and just, you know, who we are as people," Kelce said when asked why he believed people were so fascinated by their relationship. "We love to shine light on others, shine light around the people that help and support us. And, on top of that, I feel like we both have just a love for life."

Patrick and Brittany have a different love story. 

Brittany and Patrick were born and raised in east Texas and started dating when they attended Whitehouse High School in Whitehouse, Texas. Whitehouse is a town with a population of about 8,500 and has a history of voting Republican, according to Data USA. The couple got married in March 2022 and have two children, 3-year-old daughter Sterling Skye and 1-year-old son Patrick "Bronze" Lavon Mahomes III. 

Shortly after the scrutiny began about Brittany liking Trump Instagram content, Patrick wished her a happy birthday Aug. 31. 

In a recent episode of the "Whoop" podcast, Brittany said she’s leaned on her three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback husband to get her through the recent public scrutiny. 

"Having him to help me get through it has helped a lot because he is very good at managing those things and blocking people out and doing all that type of stuff," she said. "Having him beside me and kind of guiding me, coaching me through it has helped a ton. I think that’s kind of gotten to where we are at now.

"I think the main thing he always told me is like, ‘Stop caring about what people think, especially the people that don’t even know you,’" she said. "And so I think social media used to get me a lot, and now it’s just like, honestly, I don’t give a f--- about what people have to say about me anymore."

Brittany did suggest with an Aug. 26 Instagram story that she and Patrick may potentially disagree on some issues. "Contrary to the tone of the world today …. you can disagree with someone, and still love them. You can have differing views, and still be kind," she wrote.

Patrick has never publicly expressed support for a political figure or affiliation. He told Time in April he would not speak about who he would vote for in the upcoming election. He stood firm on that belief Wednesday.

"I don’t want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever, either way," Mahomes reiterated. "I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote. It’s to inform people to do their own research and then make the best decision for them and their family."

The Seattle City Council's Public Safety Committee has moved on a proposal to reinstate a law that makes prostitution loitering a misdemeanor as the city attempts to crack down on sex trafficking, violence and drug dealing despite strong opposition from the public.

Prostitution, violence and drug deals are common along Seattle’s Aurora Avenue, which has become the focal point in the metro’s ongoing debate over public safety.

FOX 13 in Seattle reported that one law that was removed in 2020 that makes prostitution loitering a misdemeanor is being considered by city leaders for reinstatement to help control the blighted spot.

In a video presented last month during a Public Safety Committee meeting, time-lapse footage showed several women being trafficked and sold on a street corner along Aurora Avenue from midnight to 1 a.m.

The video also showed multiple gunfights breaking out, sometimes with prostitutes standing on the corner while trying to drum up business.

Seattle City Councilmember Cathy Moore is proposing legislation to establish policies that govern arrests involving prostitution and loitering and to create "Stay Out of Areas of Prostitution" (SOAP) zones that, if violated, could result in charges.

Moore said the legislation intends to disrupt the violent criminal enterprise of the commercial sex trade by focusing enforcement efforts on buyers (johns) and promoters (pimps). The legislation also emphasizes diversion to social services, safe houses and treatment for sellers, mostly women and girls, Moore said at the time.

Supporters, the station reported, have argued that Aurora has become an "open-air drug market" and a dangerous area where violence is a common occurrence.

"It's like a war zone in your city," one resident from 102nd Street testified during the City Council’s Public Safety Committee meeting on Tuesday. "When I go home, I'm in it, and it is just the most dehumanizing thing I’ve ever experienced."

The resident was one of more than 100 speakers who signed up to speak at the beginning of the meeting.

But not everyone was in favor of the legislation. In fact, Moore’s proposal was met with strong opposition from critics who argued the ordinance unfairly targets sex workers and does not address the causes of gun violence and crime.

"There is broad vocal opposition to this bill," one speaker said. "Yet, Councilmember Moore is still pushing it forward and defending racially profiling and arresting her most vulnerable constituents."

A woman named Bingo, who spoke before the committee while wearing animal ears and a choker, said she is a sex worker and performer in one of the city’s districts. Bingo said she opposed the ordinance because she depends on clients and gig work to pay bills. She also said that passing the bill could kill her and her friends because it would take away money and services they rely on.

The issue centers around Moore's proposed SOAP zones along Aurora Avenue. The zones would make loitering for the purpose of prostitution a misdemeanor.

"Stay Out of Drug Area" (SODA) zones would target areas identified as "open-air drug markets" in places like downtown Seattle and Chinatown, the station reported.

Bob Kettle, chair of the Public Safety Committee, said the neighborhoods are hurting, adding that drug dealers prey on those who are vulnerable during a crisis.

Several people told the committee they would rather see services provided than the reinstatement of SOAP zones.

The bill also offers diversion for the first time, meaning it gives officers the ability to approach sex workers and talk about getting them help and offering professional services.

In Seattle, prostitution is illegal, and according to Moore, many people do not understand that prostitution is illegal.

Promoting prostitution is a felony and requires testimony from the sex workers to establish a case. Testimony puts additional heightened risk on the sex workers, and it makes it difficult to prove the case.

Moore’s bill also directs the city’s Human Services Department and mayor’s office to create a work program that will provide advocates who work with individuals with prostitution-related convictions. The goal is to have the convictions scrubbed from their record so that when they apply for a job or housing, the convictions don't exist.
