Polish-born boxing legend Andrzej Gołota, who has lived in the United States for years, recently expressed his strong support for Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. In a recent interview, Gołota emphasized the importance of Trump returning to office, stating, “If he doesn’t come back, it will be a tragedy.”
Gołota’s History with Trump
Gołota has supported Trump since the 2016 election, when he publicly endorsed the candidate, whom he met during his boxing career in 1997. Back then, he considered Trump the “right choice” for America and still holds this view today. For Gołota, the alternative — a victory by Kamala Harris — would be catastrophic for the country, as he passionately shared in an interview with “Przegląd Sportowy Onet.”
The Polish-American Vote
Polish-Americans, part of a significant voting bloc in the U.S., are casting their votes in this high-stakes election. According to Gołota, Trump appears to have surprising support in traditionally Democratic states, including Illinois. Gołota notes Trump’s unexpected popularity, stressing that a Harris presidency would be disastrous.
With millions of Americans already casting their ballots early, the final decision will soon be known, and the influence of voters like Gołota and the Polish-American community could prove crucial in shaping the next chapter of U.S. leadership.
