As her popularity grew, Maher was awarded with a photoshoot for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. The photos were released Wednesday showing her posing in a bathing suit with her bronze medal.
Maher, seemingly comfortable talking about anything, was also ready to make an official presidential endorsement.
"I think it's going to be cool because there is an opportunity to have female representation and to change this country in a way that I think will benefit us," she told SI. "… That’s a Kamala Harris endorsement."
Maher told the outlet that abortion and contraception rights were among the issues important to her. Maher was born in Vermont.

"I have enough money that if I didn't need an abortion, I could raise a baby myself," she added.
"If I wanted to get abortion, I could do that. So I have that privilege (but) it scares me about the other girls. I have options and I want to remember that, my followers don't all have that. And so it's like for me, but also mostly for them."
Harris and Dems have criticized former President Donald Trump’s stance on abortion. Harris said in her DNC speech that he and "his allies would limit access to birth control, ban medication, abortion and enact a nationwide abortion ban with or without Congress."
However, the Trump campaign has repeatedly affirmed that a future administration intends to leave abortion policy decisions to the states.
This intention to back off from the abortion issue following the overturn of Roe v. Wade is reflected in the official Republican Party platform published last month.
"We believe that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees that no person can be denied life or liberty without due process and that the states are, therefore, free to pass laws protecting those rights," the draft reads.
However, for the first time in 40 years, the document makes no mention of a federal abortion ban, which Trump has emphasized that he opposes.
