In 2024 reporting about tennis figures and the election, Navratilova said she would vote for Kamala Harris rather than Donald Trump.
Notes: Electoral choice framed as opposition to Trump in the 2024 race.
An explicit statement of voting for Harris instead of Trump is a direct anti-MAGA electoral signal. Confidence is high because Reuters attributes the position in straight news reporting, though it is not a first-party post hosted by Navratilova herself.
Navratilova said she would vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in November's election over Trump.
Navratilova has frequently used her platform on X (formerly Twitter) to describe Donald Trump as a 'threat to democracy' and has characterized the MAGA movement as regressive. She has explicitly called for voters to oppose him in the 2016, 2020, and 2024 cycles.
Notes: Ongoing social media activity.

In response to Donald Trump's comments about being a 'dictator for a day,' Navratilova posted that 'he means it' and warned her followers about the dangers of authoritarianism, drawing on her experience growing up in communist Czechoslovakia.

Notes: Post-2020 election legitimacy is highly relevant to MAGA alignment.

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova slams 'patriarchal' Supreme Court decision.
Navratilova was honored by the Human Rights Campaign for her long-running advocacy on LGBTQ equality, an issue area generally opposed by MAGA-aligned social conservatism.
Notes: Recognition itself is not partisan, but it documents her sustained public role in LGBTQ-rights advocacy.
Her documented leadership role in LGBTQ-rights advocacy is a durable anti-MAGA signal because the movement often aligns with policies restricting LGBTQ protections. Confidence is high from AP's factual event reporting, though this is more contextual than an election endorsement.
Martina Navratilova was honored by the Human Rights Campaign for decades of advocacy for LGBTQ rights.

Navratilova posted during the Capitol attack that the U.S. was witnessing an insurrection, aligning herself against the attempt to overturn the 2020 election by force.
Notes: Relevant to MAGA because January 6 is a core movement-defining event.
Calling January 6 an insurrection is a clear anti-MAGA signal because it rejects one of the movement's most consequential anti-democratic actions. Confidence is high because Reuters quotes her post and places it in contemporaneous coverage of athlete reactions.
Martina Navratilova tweeted: 'This is what an insurrection looks like.'
In October 2020, Martina Navratilova publicly endorsed Joe Biden for president, writing in an opinion essay that Americans should vote for him to remove Donald Trump from office.
Notes: Direct anti-Trump electoral positioning during the 2020 presidential race.
A direct public endorsement of Biden against Trump is a strong anti-MAGA signal because it is an explicit presidential preference in the core Trump-era contest. Confidence is very high because the statement appears in Navratilova's own bylined opinion piece.
Martina Navratilova: Joe Biden should be the next President of the United States.
Navratilova appeared in voting-rights advocacy around the 2020 election and publicly emphasized the importance of voting to protect U.S. democracy, a stance counter to MAGA efforts to delegitimize the 2020 result.
Notes: Democracy/voting framing became directly salient in the Trump post-election context.
Although not an endorsement by itself, pro-voting and pro-democracy advocacy in the 2020 context cuts against MAGA election-legitimacy narratives. Confidence is high because Reuters reported the campaign and quoted involved athletes.
Athletes including Martina Navratilova urged Americans to vote in a campaign focused on participation and democracy.
After controversy over her statements on transgender participation in women's sport, Navratilova left an advisory role with Athlete Ally, showing a break with part of the progressive advocacy coalition typically opposed to MAGA.
Notes: Contextual evidence showing heterodox positioning within left-leaning advocacy spaces.
This is politically relevant because it documents a public split with an LGBTQ advocacy group over a culture-war issue. But it is not, by itself, evidence of MAGA support; it is better treated as mixed/contextual with moderate weight.
Athlete Ally said Martina Navratilova had stepped down from its advisory board after comments about transgender athletes.
Navratilova publicly argued that transgender women should not compete in female sports categories at the elite level, a position that overlaps with a major conservative and MAGA policy theme even though she identifies as a liberal lesbian activist.
Notes: This is best treated as mixed/contextual rather than purely pro-MAGA because her broader politics remain anti-Trump.
This issue position substantially overlaps with MAGA-backed sports policy arguments, but taken in context it does not amount to overall MAGA support given her repeated anti-Trump and anti-election-denial statements. Direction is neutral/mixed to avoid over-attribution.
Navratilova wrote that allowing transgender women to compete as women in sport would be 'cheating.'
Martina Navratilova says allowing transgender women to compete in women's sport is 'insane and it's cheating.'
After Charlottesville, Navratilova publicly attacked President Trump's equivocal response, arguing that there was no moral equivalence between white supremacists and those opposing them.
Notes: Early Trump-era criticism relevant to MAGA posture.
