It’s now been roughly two days since Taylor Swift publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for president. Clearly, the Harris marketing campaign is thrilled to have the backing of some of the well-known and influential individuals on the planet—however how’s the competitors taking the information? Not nice, if the reactions of the 2 males on the ticket are something to go by!
Following Donald Trump’s eye-roll-inducing claim that he has at all times appreciated Brittany Mahomes higher than Swift, JD Vance, his working mate, boldly declared that “most Individuals” won’t be be swayed by the wildly standard pop-star’s endorsement.
In an interview on Fox Information, Martha MacCallum famous that Swift has greater than 283 million followers on Instagram—the place Swift announced her plans to vote for Harris and signed the publish “childless cat lady”—and requested Vance, “How do you converse to girls voters who, clearly, they care about what she thinks?” His response? “We admire Taylor Swift’s music, however I don’t assume most Individuals, whether or not they like her music or [are] followers of hers or not, are going to be influenced by a billionaire movie star who I feel is essentially disconnected from the pursuits and the issues of most Individuals,” Vance mentioned. “Look, when grocery costs go up by 20%, it hurts most Individuals—it doesn’t harm Taylor Swift. When housing costs change into unaffordable, it doesn’t have an effect on Taylor Swift or every other billionaire. It does have an effect on middle-class Individuals throughout our nation.”
Vance’s feedback are deeply wealthy on a number of ranges, the primary one being that Swift is an out-of-touch “billionaire movie star,” an outline that actually describes Donald Trump. As for whether or not or not individuals shall be influenced to vote for Harris, that continues to be to be seen, although to this point his idea doesn’t look like solely sound. On Thursday, The New York Instances reported that Swift’s Instagram publish, which inspired her followers to register to vote and directed them to a vote.gov hyperlink in her tales to take action, led roughly 406,000 individuals to click on on the hyperlink inside 24 hours. The publish, during which Swift wrote that she is voting for Harris as a result of the VP “fights for the rights and causes I consider want a warrior to champion them,” has been appreciated greater than 10 million occasions. Oh, and after the singer endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, he went on to win the election, beating Trump. Was her assist what pushed him throughout the road? Unclear, nevertheless it most likely didn’t harm—which is probably why, in August, Trump used AI pictures to falsely claim Swift had endorsed him.
