And Beyoncé too

This seems to coincide with the news that there are more big name endorsements planned over the next two weeks.

The time is now to step into the fray. She has MILLIONS of fans as well in this country who could be a deciding factor in this election!

I know she has no obligation to do more than she has.
But she’s one of a few handful of people that could really make a difference in increasing voter turnout.

It would be good if she could make an appearance for Harris but it may be difficult logistically. I wouldn't assume anything.

on the importance of VOTING in this election to her US fans.

She needs not make an appearance with Kamala Harris. THAT is what I meant about stepping into the fray. Swift has a lot of positive influence among her fans and their mothers via video and social media.

And after she endorsed Harris she got hundreds of thousands of Swifties to register to vote
after Harris announced her candidacy. She is a major business with many people depending
on her for employment right now with her tour and that is pretty damn important.

appeared at a rally introducing Harris.

She is on tour. She got thousands of younger people to register, put her full support behind Kamala. She has done a lot.

Criticism of Ms. Swift is no way to win friends.

Maybe it went past so fast you might have missed it but she's already been in the fray.

I'm not convinced Harris can win Texas (it's still a longshot ) but this should help with voter enthusiasm overall and might just be enough to push Allred past or Cruz.

Especially black and Hispanic males who are considered “influencers” endorse Harris.

But several Pittsburgh Steelers players who are in the Hall of Fame publicly endorsed Harris before their game Sunday. That definitely got a lot of attention in Pittsburgh.

Perhaps Beyoncé has been added. It did mention additional information coming.

Here’s the text

Willie Nelson
DJ Tryfe
Tina Knowles (Beyoncé mother)

More details to coming soon


I’d love to drive down, but not sure if I’d get in.

The NFL is king in this country. Football stars endorsing her would have more impact than singers. Unfortunately, too many NFL players are scared to wade into politics for fear of alienating their fan base and losing money.
