Pop superstar Taylor Swift is poised to endorse Kamala Harris in the coming weeks, signaling her support for a historic bid for the presidency. The 14-time Grammy winner, known for her influential presence and previous support of the Democratic Party, is expected to announce her backing of Harris about four to six weeks before the US election on November 5.
Swift, who has a history of mobilizing her fans to vote, could have a significant impact on the election outcome, reported the US Sun.Her 2020 ‘go vote’ campaign was credited with increasing youth voter turnout, making her endorsement a highly anticipated event. The Biden campaign, and more recently Harris’s, have both sought her support, while Trump’s camp has expressed confusion over Swift’s potential alignment with Democrats.
According to a source close to Swift’s entourage, the singer is “excited” about Harris’s presidential run. “Taylor was thrilled when Kamala Harris was named Vice President in 2020. It was a monumental moment for her to see a woman in such a high political position,” the insider was quoted as saying by the US Sun. “Now that Harris is running for president, Taylor is even more enthusiastic about the possibility of Harris becoming the first female President of the United States.”
Swift’s endorsement is expected to be a significant boost for Harris’s campaign. The singer’s influence, combined with her substantial fan base, could play a crucial role as the election approaches. Social media has been buzzing with speculation about Swift’s endorsement, with both Harris and Trump supporters campaigning for her backing. While Trump has garnered support from tech elites and prominent business figures, Harris has seen increasing backing from Hollywood and Silicon Valley.
As the election draws near, Swift’s potential endorsement of Harris highlights her commitment to supporting a strong, unifying leader in the race for the presidency.
