Can you imagine Taylor Swift as a key player in the 2024 presidential election? Well, California Governor Gavin Newsom sure can! During the second Republican debate at the Reagan Library, Newsom expressed his belief that Swift has the power to make a significant impact on young voters.
As a potential future presidential contender, Newsom recognizes the influence of celebrity endorsements and their ability to mobilize young people to vote. He singled out Taylor Swift, whom he described as someone who stands “tall and unique” in her ability to activate young voters.
This is not the first time Taylor Swift has shown her political advocacy. In 2020, she strongly urged her fans to exercise their right to vote and openly endorsed Joe Biden. Although she has not officially declared her party affiliation, Swift’s support for LGBTQ rights and pro-choice on abortion issues aligns her with the Democratic party.
Newsom’s praise for Swift comes with a jab at Republicans who criticize her for inspiring people to vote. He believes that in a close presidential race, where every vote matters, Taylor Swift could become a kingmaker.
It’s evident that Taylor Swift’s influence extends far beyond her relationship with Travis Kelce. With her massive following and dedication to political engagement, she could very well impact the outcome of the 2024 election.
