Former CNN anchor Don Lemon is urging pop superstar Taylor Swift to take a bold political stance by endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election. With her massive following and influence, Lemon believes Swift’s endorsement could mobilize millions of young voters this November. During a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Lemon emphasized the potential impact Swift could have, stating, “Taylor Swift needs to step forward. She’s very influential. She can move an election.”
Swift, who has over 500 million followers across her social media platforms, has largely stayed out of politics in recent years to avoid alienating her loyal fanbase, known as “Swifties.” However, she broke her silence in 2020 by endorsing the Biden-Harris ticket, expressing her desire for change after being “blindsided” by Donald Trump’s 2016 victory. Lemon highlighted that Swift’s support for Harris, especially on key issues like reproductive rights, could be crucial in the current political climate.
As Kamala Harris campaigns for the presidency following Joe Biden’s exit, reproductive rights and abortion access have become central themes. Meanwhile, Trump has adopted a position that leaves abortion policy to individual states, causing friction within conservative circles. Swift’s potential endorsement of Harris could bring significant attention to these issues, particularly among younger voters.
The anticipation surrounding Swift’s political stance for the 2024 election is growing. While she has not yet publicly declared her support, sources suggest that an endorsement of Kamala Harris could come in the weeks leading up to Election Day. In a previous interview, Swift expressed her belief that the Biden-Harris administration offered a chance for America to heal, and many are eager to see if she will continue to support Harris in her presidential bid.
