US Polls 2024: Taylor Swift Backs Kamala Harris Following Debate with Trump; Says ‘I’ve Done My Research’

Taylor Swift is stepping into her 2024 election era.

The pop superstar endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president on Tuesday night, following the intense debate with former President Donald Trump.

Swift described Harris as a ‘steady-handed, gifted leader.’

In an Instagram post, Swift stated, ‘I believe she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and that we can achieve so much more with calm leadership instead of chaos.’

She wrote, ‘Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. 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, ‘Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.’

She added, ‘I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris 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 @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.’

Swift concluded, ‘I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.’

Swift, who started publicly engaging in politics ahead of the 2018 midterms, has a history of encouraging civic participation through her online presence. Although her endorsements and political comments have been infrequent, they have consistently led to a significant increase in voter registrations.
