kamla Harris after presidential debate calls for calm and not chaos Global Superstar Taylor Swift on Tuesday announced her support for kamla Harris's presidential campaign in a highly anticipated endorsement that could energize millions of so-called swifties the fortnite singer endorsed the Democratic nominee in an Instagram post moments after Harris's first debate with Donald Trump wrapped up like many of you I watched the debate tonight Swift wrote if you haven't already now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most as a voter I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country she continued I will be casting my vote for kamla Harris and Tim Walls in the 2024 presidential election I'm voting for kamla Harris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to Champion them I think she is a steady-handed gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate Tim Walls who has been standing up for lgbtq rights IVF and a woman's right to her own body for decades Swift signed the post childless cat lady a clear reference to controversial remarks from Trump's running mate Senator JD Vance Swift's endorsement comes after her close friend Britney Mahomes best known as the wife of Kansas City Chief's quarterback Patrick Mahomes made headlines in recent weeks for publicly supporting Trump Swift and Britney Mahomes were seen hugging at the US Open in New York City on Sunday suggesting their political differences aren't getting in the way of their friendship Swift didn't endorse President Joe Biden before he dropped out of the race but she also didn't endorse the Biden Harris ticket in 2020 until about a month before the election Swift's reach is arguably unmatched with some contending she's now the most famous person in the world amid her record-breaking ears tour she has more than 280 million Instagram followers far surpassing Harris's 17 million and Donald Trump's 26 million but do those metrics translate into actual political influence it's a subject Scholars and pundits have debated for years according to a PolitiFact article published in February it would be misguided to assume that Swift's potential involvement in the race would be a Magic Bullet with guaranteed results the article continued experts say it often takes more than a single message or action for celebrity endorsements to move the needle in elections and younger people could be particularly hard to sway because they consistently chalk up the lowest turnout rates at the polls an endorsement would draw attention but her fans already lean left as my colleague Jan Jones wrote for the readout blog in May some celebrity endorsements including one from Swift haven't meaningfully affected outcomes in recent years Jones wrote Beyonce endorsed b oror a democrat in her home state of Texas in 2018 against Republican senator Ted Cruz and that same year Taylor Swift endorsed Democratic Senate candidate Phil brison's effort to OU Republican senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee both oor and breson lost and the celebrity endorsements seemed hardly to have moved the needle so the power of her endorsement may not lie in flipping Trump supporters or wooing Independence as much as it does in her ability to engage and turn out voters generally vote.org said it saw a 1,226 per jump in participation in the hour after Swift's September 2023 Instagram post encouraging her followers to register to vote NPR reported many Republicans correctly view Taylor as an influential Force msnbc's Ari melber told his viewers in January her impact goes from culture and music to a wider resurgent feminism to Civic engagement it could shape turnout regardless of whether Swift's endorsement delivers massive results for the Harris walls ticket it's one the Biden campaign reportedly fought hard to win as the New York Times reported in January California governor Gavin Nome then a top Sur for the Biden campaign had practically begged the pop icon to speak out in support of the president's reelection bid Taylor Swift Stands Tall and unique Nome who endorsed Harris after Biden withdrew told reporters in September 2023 what she was able to accomplish just in getting young people activated to consider that they have a voice and that they should have a choice in the next election I think is profoundly powerful
