Could It Be That Taylor Swift Is Making A Bold And Wise Move In Her Strategic Delay In Endorsing Kamala Harris. fans are asking

As Kamala Harris continues to gain momentum in her presidential run—with a host of celebrities and public figures backing her—Taylor Swift’s continued silence on the matter has sparked questions about if or when she will endorse the vice president. Harris became a late entrant into the 2024 presidential race after Joe Biden announced in July that he would not be seeking reelection, following weeks of pressure from within his own party and from key Democratic donors to step down amid concerns over his age and mental acuity.

As Harris’ potential nomination and expected showdown with former President Donald Trump—the GOP nominee—dominates the news cycle, a host of social media users have urged Swift to publicly declare her support for the Democrat. David Hogg, a gun control activist, took to X, formerly Twitter, to address the hugely influential pop star, writing on July 21: “@taylorswift13 have you decided who you are supporting? We need to do a ton to bring back the youth vote and you could literally be the reason we don’t fall to a pro-life, pro-gun, anti climate, felon.” Fans have taken things one step further by starting up @Swifties4Kamala accounts on TikTok, Instagram and X, amassing tens of thousands of followers in the process. However, the star to whom these fans hitch their faith has yet to pledge allegiance to either of the candidates in this election cycle.

The assumption has always been that Swift will back the Democratic ticket, given the fact that she did share her support for Harris during the 2020 election cycle. Taking to X in August 2020, Swift responded “YES” to Harris’ post, in which the Democrat said she was “honored to join [Biden] as our party’s nominee for vice president, and do what it takes to make him our commander-in-chief.” In October 2020, Swift again expressed her support for Harris as she promoted her interview with V magazine, in which the pop superstar said why she was backing Biden.
