Re: US Election 2024
Trump’s running mate was being interviewed today on Fox News today, and he was asked what he thought of Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala Harris.

Very good.
(Tbf I haven't a clue who Taylor Swift is. Am I ' out of the loop'? )

I suggest Mr K is a closet Swifty and has several sequinned outfits left over from the shows he's recently been to

Indeed, it’s a sad state of affairs when the only plus points of the democratic candidate is that she isn’t a senile old man, and that that may be all it takes to get her over the line.
It’s a toss of a coin at this point. With the coin slightly weighted towards Harris.

It led to Taylor Swift feeling comfortable enough to endorse her and then to encourage her followers to register to vote. And over 300,000 did so.
Quote:
Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president may boost voter registration beyond Democrats’ "wildest dreams."
The General Services Administration, which oversees the website, confirmed to NBC News that as of 2 p.m. ET Wednesday, 337,826 people had visited a custom URL that Swift posted on Instagram when she announced she was endorsing Harris.

Re: US Election 2024
She'll appeal to a LOT of first-time female voters. I doubt many will change their minds being Swift endorsed here but yes she might make a marginal difference to turn out if she encourages people to register.

So a leader who appreciates the level needed to communicate to a good percentage of the population. Speaking clearly and slowly, with a friendly demeanour and using small words.

Quote:
31% of Americans aged 18 to 29 consider themselves to be Swift fans (15.9m people), while a slightly higher 33% of those aged 30-44 consider themselves fans (20.89m people).
It seems that the 30-44 age group (is there anything more millennial than Taylor Swift?) has the highest percentage of fans, as the numbers decrease from there with only 17% of people aged 45 to 64 (14.16m people) and 13% of those older than 65 identifying as fans (7.28m people).
Added up, and not accounting for any Taylor Swift fans under 18, this means there are approximately 58.23m adult Swifties in the United States.

Re: US Election 2024
Ha. For the first time in decades. Teamsters fail to endorse the Democrat in the room. Not surprised, she’s utterly dire. Even on Oprah last night. Oprah had the look of not being able to save her. She’s a complete word salad.
