Prior to Election Day on Tuesday, LeBron James will be campaigning with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in Cleveland on Sunday.

New York Magazinereported the news, one of Clinton's campaign staffers used a GIF of James at the World Series to make the announcement on Twitter and NBC's Bradd Jaffy shared a press release on Friday night.

The presence of the Cleveland Cavaliers star at Clinton's event so close to Nov. 8 could have an impact on which candidate wins Ohio. It's a swing state that's important to Donald Trump, who held the lead in a recent poll. Perhaps James can provide the final push that Clinton needs.

James endorsed Clinton last month via an op-ed he wrote that was published by the Akron Beacon Journal and Business Insider.Here's an excerpt:

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.

Additionally, after the news was announced on Friday, James' Cavaliers teammate, J.R. Smith, made it known that he also supports Clinton.
