‘She is steady-handed leader’ — Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris

Taylor Swift has endorsed Kamala Harris in the forthcoming US presidential election.

Harris, the vice president and Democratic Party candidate for the November election, is up against Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, in the race for the White House.

On Tuesday, the presidential candidates went head-to-head in a 90-minute debate at the Philadelphia Constitution Center.

“Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight,” Swift wrote on Instagram to her 283 million followers, before adding “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election.”

The 34-year-old said she is supporting Harris because “she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them”.

The singer added that the Democratic candidate is a “steady-handed and gifted leader”. She also urged voters to do thorough research before voting for their candidates.

Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most.

As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country.

Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation.

It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter.

The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth. I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election.

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.

I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.

I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make.

I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early.

I will link where to register and find early voting dates and information in my story.
