Caitlin Clark has an opinion on Taylor Swift's presidential endorsement

Caitlin Clark may have just signaled her support for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

The Indiana Fever star "liked" self-proclaimed "childless cat lady" Taylor Swift's Tuesday evening Instagram post endorsing Harris, which came after the vice president faced off against former President Donald Trump in a presidential debate.

"I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them," Swift wrote. "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."

Clark is one of nearly 4 million Instagram users who "liked" Swift's endorsement within the hour it was posted.

consider her the Great White Hope.

I met her briefly a few weeks ago. She was absolutely lovely, and very humble for being one of the greatest athletes in the world.

But still taking it with a grain of salt. I saw her state in an interview she doesn’t do social media. I have seen plenty of accounts of her on FB claiming to be “official.” We just have to be very careful of any claims about such huge celebrities. Just like Taylor Swift, I’d need to hear it directly from CC in an obviously official capacity….
