[See NewsBusters for more.] All three networks on Tuesday touted LeBron James attacking Donald Trump in a new CNN interview. But ABC hinted that the NBA star should repeat his 2016 performance when he endorsed Hillary Clinton. ESPN’s Rachel Nichols talked to James on Good Morning America. She pressed: “Can we expect you to be active going up to the next election like you were in the last one?” The basketball player joked, “I'm here. I already got my suit.” GMA reporter Gio Benitez hinted: “Nichols went on to say athletes have run for office before and suggested the school give him some public policy experience.”
