The Golden State Warriors ace has a strong friendship with the US vice-president, who was born in Oakland and is a long-time fan of the seven-time NBA champions.
Harris, a former California senator who launched her political career after stints as a San Francisco prosecutor, is poised to battle Donald Trump for the presidency in November after Joe Biden's decision to drop out of the campaign.
Curry, who is competing in his first Olympics, described the political turmoil back home as a "very interesting time for our country".
"Vice-president Harris is trying to bring her energy to this campaign and hopefully, you know, she's on the ticket and winning the election," Curry told a packed press conference in Paris.
"It's a big, big deal, to say the least. And she represents the Bay Area. She's been a big supporter of us.
"So I get that energy right back to her and just excited to represent our country here and this is a monumental next couple of months for our country and the direction that we're headed."
Curry believes a successful US Olympic campaign could help bring the country together.
"Hopefully this is a great way to do our part to continue to unite the country," Curry said. "Sports brings a lot of people together.
"We're all about positive energy and optimism, knowing how divided our country is right now. So just excited for the journey ahead for her."
