Swift Snubs Harris Campaign; Celebrity Rallies Falter

News summary

A new book reveals that Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign made extensive efforts to secure Taylor Swift’s active participation, but only obtained a social media endorsement after a key debate. Doug Emhoff, Harris’s husband and a former entertainment lawyer, led the outreach through Swift’s attorney, who emphasized Swift’s independence in political endorsements. Despite rumors, Swift did not appear at campaign events, and the campaign instead featured celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, and Bruce Springsteen at rallies costing about $20 million. These high-profile events had little effect on voter turnout or results, as swing states hosting them still favored Donald Trump. The book also discloses that Harris declined to select Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as her running mate due to their similarities, lack of chemistry, and his political ambitions, not his faith. The revelations underscore the limited impact of celebrity endorsements and campaigns on voter behavior.
