5 Twitch streamers who supported Donald Trump during his Presidential Elections
In the last few months, Streamers in the US have been pretty involved in the country's political scene. While they typically steer clear of this side of the internet, many have voiced their support for their preferred Presidential candidates. At the time of writing, it appears that Donald Trump is set to become the next President of the United States of America.
This article will focus on five such streamers who have publicly endorsed Donald Trump.
Here are five Twitch streamers who supported Donald Trump
1) Adin Ross
While Adin Ross isn't a Twitch streamer anymore, the Kick streamer is possibly the most well-known streamer to voice his support for Donald Trump. So much so, that in August 2024, the streamer had the opportunity to collaborate with the 45th President of the United States.
Their stream was a smashing hit, having garnered over 500K concurrent (live) viewers. Ross even gifted Trump a custom-wrapped Tesla Cybertruck, which had the Make America Great Again campaign slogan. He also presented him with a Rolex watch.
2) FaZe Banks
YouTuber, streamer, and FaZe Clan CEO Richard "Banks" is the second name on this list. The streamer also publicly supported Donald Trump. He shared an elaborate post on X, explaining how he had been a lifelong Democrat until recently but now believes that Trump's vision for America is better than Biden's.
He also listed reasons for his change of mind, citing issues like immigration and inflation, and noting that during Trump’s last term in office, there were no major global wars:
"I’ve been a democrat my entire life, until today. Trump's America > Bidens America and it’s not close. And here we are asked to decide between the two tomorrow, how it’s even up for debate is beyond me."
3) Sneako
Sneako was recently unbanned on Twitch (before being banned again). Like Adin Ross, he has also shown support for Donald Trump. Interestingly, he initially expressed doubt about supporting the Republican candidate, as Trump had previously voiced support for Israel.
However, on November 6, 2024, Sneako came forward to say that he had changed his mind, stating that between Kamala and Trump, he believes Trump is the one more likely to end the conflict in Palestine:
"I wasn't sure how much he was gonna do about Palestine, but I think he's going undercover and I think he does want to end the war."
4) Lacy
Next on the list is FaZe Clan member and Twitch streamer Nick "Lacy," who, like Banks, openly supports Trump. For instance, when asked by a reporter who he thought would win the key swing state of Pennsylvania, Lacy replied:
"Trump 2024"
It's worth noting that the streamer is often accused of "clip farming" and isn’t always serious about what he says. When asked to elaborate, the FaZe Clan member said:
"You know, I just think that the economy was better when he was in office. I don't really know much. It's a bad political interview for you to be honest, I'm, just a streamer."
5) Nickmercs
Former Fortnite pro and Twitch streamer Nick "Nickmercs" had openly shown his support for Trump in the current U.S. election. Previously, the streamer faced considerable controversy for his views on trans rights and LGBTQ issues.
As the election updates continue to come in and Trump heads toward a likely victory, Nickmercs has voiced his support, even posting a picture of Trump wearing a MAGA hat to congratulate and welcome him back to office.
