The coalition is "confident Taylor's words will have a positive impact" on getting Vice President Harris elected in November following the musician's endorsement.
Swifties for Kamala, the thousands-deep coalition helping to elect Vice President Kamala Harris as the 47th president of the United States, have gained a support in the biggest Swiftie of them all: Taylor Swift. The musician shared her endorsement for Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, just moments after last night’s presidential debate. A few hours later, a statement arrived from the desk of Swifties for Kamala. “We never doubted Taylor would endorse at the right time because we know that her values align with Harris and our community,” the coalition shared.
“We are excited to see the momentum she will bring to this campaign,” the statement continued. Swift declared her support for Harris in an Instagram post shared to her 283 million followers. Beneath a photo in which she poses with Benjamin Button, one of her three cats, the singer-songwriter wrote: “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.”
