Griffin has not expressed his political beliefs as frequently as other former athletes and media peers. However, he did speak on Trump's assassination attempt after it happened in July.
Griffin posted a video that day, defended the president and criticized those who theorized the attempt was staged.

"Hey man, I don't really care how much you love or hate President Donald Trump. Now is not the time to play politics. Now's the time to pray for Donald Trump, his family and the families of those who lost someone in the shooting. We got people out here who are so focused on the fact that they think that this assassination attempt was staged, and they are forgetting about the fact that someone died," Griffin said in the video.
Griffin also called for the firings of the police and Secret Service agents who were on duty and supposed to prevent the shooting.
"There is no way in hell this should have happened. Whoever was in charge of the police that day should be gone. Whoever was in charge of the Secret Service should be gone. Because whether you like Donald Trump or not, every life is worth living," he said.
Prior to that, Griffin criticized Trump and President Biden during their first debate on CNN June 27.
"My God, this Presidential debate proves that we need younger presidential candidates," Griffin wrote on X that night.
"Our Presidential candidates in the middle of a Debate argued about their golf handicaps. This Presidential debate is a sitcom."
Griffin hasn't outwardly expressed support for Trump. However, many former NFL players are split in their political beliefs.
Former NFL stars Brett Favre, Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell have been among the most vocal advocates of Trump throughout the election process, while current San Francisco 49ers star Nick Bosa even risked a fine by wearing a "Make America Great Again" while walking by a postgame interview in progress on NBC Oct. 27.
Ryan Clark, another former NFL player, and former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick have been critical of Trump.
