James published an op-ed back in October in which he endorsed Clinton for president.

When I look at this year’s presidential race, it’s clear which candidate believes the same thing. Only one person running truly understands the struggles of an Akron child born into poverty. And when I think about the kinds of policies and ideas the kids in my foundation need from our government, the choice is clear.

That candidate is Hillary Clinton.

Smith also shared a photo of he and his family on his Instagram account, saying, "Words could never explain this feeling! 'We are with her.' Our New President #votehillary2016 #strongertogether."
