TAYLOR SWIFT'S ENDORSEMENT APPEARS TO BE HAVING A MASSIVE IMPACT IN PENNSYLVANIA

TAYLOR SWIFT’S ENDORSEMENT APPEARS TO BE HAVING A MASSIVE IMPACT IN PENNSYLVANIA

"SNIP............

According to Tom Bonier of Target Smart the data shows that Taylor Swift’s endorsement has had a major impact on Pennsylvania in the presidential election.

Taylor Swift is having a major impact in Pennsylvania:

According to Tom Bonier of Target Smart, a political data firm based in DC, the Taylor Swift endorsement of Harris appears to have had a seismic effect in Pennsylvania specifically. In the period from 9/11-9/13 this year compared with the same time in 2020, voters under 30 were 61% of all new registrations, compared to 45% in 2020; Hispanic women under 30 increased by 188%; and Black women under 30 increased by 137%. And perhaps most encouraging of all, Democratic registrations increased by 88%.

The key for Democrats to win Pennsylvania is for turnout to be high. The entire Trump operation in the state is based on the presumption that the election will be a base election slugfest. The higher the Democratic turnout in Pennsylvania, the more likely Kamala Harris is to win the state.

The irony is, she didn't want to do it: The gqp falsely put out an endorsement of him, so she had to correct it. lindysalsagal Oct 18 #4

He tried to use AI to have a Taylor Swift endorsement, until she posted on her own social media an endorsement of Kamala (the famous 'childless cat lady' one).

The tipoff for most was that it was posted ONLY his TS account, and nowhere else.

Meanwhile, Taylor posted her endorsement of Kamala after that debate with Dumpy, on her own IG account, so it was REAL.

Dumpy then began hating on Taylor, like a spurned dude who "can't get the girl" and "sees her with someone else".

Now we need an exposé of Musk's organizations spreading disinformation about Kamala and a counter-messaging strategy.

I love the way Colin Allred briefly addressed Ted Cruz's lies about him and pivoted to what he will do for Texans. Candidates can't be afraid to briefly call out the lies about them while not specifying any specific one, while telling about their policies and record.
