Maybe you didn’t mean that as it sounded? Swift is backing Harris.
Yes, political analysts (and us here,) have been saying for weeks, it will boil down to 7 swing States - particularly Pennsylvania - if Harris loses Penn, the she MUST win all 6 other swing states to get the 270 votes needed (because of the large electoral college share in Penn) - Penn was Trump’s by a narrow margin in 2016 and Biden won it back by the closest margins in 2020. Swifties could definitely make a difference in Penn.
Harris and Trump are focussing on the 7 swing States - Trump does not have the 100,000 swing voters (that’s why they are swing voters) so he will be fighting for their votes as much as Harris.
The key though is youth - Over 30% of Swifties will be first time voters - so Taylor Swift could certainly impact the outcome in swing States where there’s just a few thousand separating the candidates - not by converting MAGAs but by getting out the vote, by getting young people engaged in the election. Typically young people of most demographics tend to be pro-democrat and this election is no different - in fact they could hold the balance of power
Taylor Swift gave the Trump campaign a thorn to dig out - with an instagram following of 284 million followers, her influence shouldn’t be underestimated.
- Trump is an ‘honourable person’ - there is no one ’more honourable’ - the last election was not ‘fair’ because he lost (and that’s what children always say when they lose) but this time, if it is a ‘fare and free election’, ‘absolutely’ he will ’accept the results’. ‘But, if for any reason’ he loses, the Country will go into a tail spin ‘the likes of 1929’.
