Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris after the ABC Presidential Debate.
Pop superstar Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president on Tuesday night, minutes after the Democratic nominee finished a contentious debate with Donald Trump .
“I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Swift said in a statement posted on her Instagram account, which has more than 280 million followers.
“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,” Swift wrote, under a photo of her holding a cat.
“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.”
Two Harris campaign officials told NBC News that the timing of Swift’s endorsement was a surprise to the campaign.
But the singer had endorsed President Joe Biden and his then-running mate Harris in the 2020 election.
