California Governor Gavin Newsom has expressed the belief that Taylor Swift could play a significant role in the 2024 presidential election, particularly in supporting the Democratic Party’s efforts to secure the White House.
As California’s prominent Democrat, Newsom attended the second Republican debate at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, where he participated as a commentator to evaluate the candidates. It’s worth noting that Newsom is increasingly regarded as a potential future presidential candidate himself.
When asked about the influence of celebrities on the upcoming election, Newsom specifically highlighted Taylor Swift as a figure who wields substantial and distinctive influence over young voters. He emphasized her capacity to mobilize and engage young people, encouraging them to participate in the electoral process.
Taylor Swift has a track record in this regard, as she actively supported the 2020 election by urging her fan base to exercise their right to vote, expressing her endorsement for Joe Biden as her choice.
California Governor Gavin Newsom CLAIMS Taylor Swift Could Play A Big Part In The 2024 Elections
While Taylor has not officially declared her party affiliation, her stance on various issues, such as LGBTQ rights and pro-choice positions on abortion, strongly align with Democratic principles.
Notably, her recent call to action on social media, where she encouraged her 272 million followers to register to vote, resulted in an immediate response from 35,000 individuals.
Presidential elections often hang on slender margins, with just 44,000 votes making a decisive difference in the 2020 election. This underscores the potential significance of Taylor Swift as a figure who could have a pivotal impact on the outcome of the election.
Governor Newsom also took the opportunity to criticize Republicans, suggesting that they have been critical of Taylor Swift for her efforts to inspire and mobilize voters.
Of course, Newsom would cling to anyone with a high status in the celebrity world to try to push his agenda, especially since he’s lost so much relevance in the last few years.
