Taylor Swift‘s endorsement of Kamala Harris just moments after the debate with Donald Trump appears to have already had an impact on the race.
Since Tuesday night more than 337,000 people have visited the Vote.gov, the voter registration website the megastar included the link to with Instagram post she signed ‘childless cat lady’.
Recent polling from Tennessee also shows her role in the 2024 presidential election might be small but significant, Axios reported.
As the fallout from ABC’s showdown continues, Trump and Harris will both hit the campaign trail on Thursday with 53 days to go until the polls open.
Taylor Swift prompted 337,000 people to visit Vote.gov so far by using the voter registration link on her Tuesday evening Instagram post.
The pop star gave her coveted and long-anticipated endorsement of Kamala Harris’ presidential bid after the first debate between the vice president and former President Donald Trump.
She included in her post a link to Vote.gov that urged her 284 million followers to do their own research and register to vote in November’s election.
The image of Swift was from a photoshoot of her and Benjamin Button, one of the mega star’s three cats named after the fictional character. It has more than 10 million likes.
Harris to go aggressive against Trump in post-debate campaign swing
Kamala Harris is going to go aggressive against Donald Trump in a post-debate campaign swing through two critical battleground states that will help decide the election.
She’ll even do more media interviews – after facing repeated criticism she has not held a formal press conference since being the Democratic nominee – and will fan her surrogates out across the country in the coming days.
Her new ‘aggressive phase’ will include campaign stops in North Carolina on Thursday and in Pennsylvania on Friday. Her campaign will also release an array of new ads that feature key moments from the debate, where she repeatedly got under Trump’s skin.
Trump, meanwhile, is headed West. He’ll campaign in Arizona on Thursday. On Friday, he’ll hold a press conference in Los Angeles and then a rally that evening in Nevada.
Polls show a majority of viewers think Harris won Tuesday evening’s presidential debate. Now it’s a question if she can keep up that momentum.
Harris’s team is calling her push her New Way Forward Tour and it includes ‘launching a suite of new TV and digital ads featuring key moments from the debate, engaging more with media, and fanning surrogates and supporters out to battleground states to share Harris’ message from the debate,’ her campaign said.
Tim Walz, her running mate, will also be doing more media engagements as part of their strategy.
Harris, for her part, will do additional local battleground state media interviews in the coming days, and next week she is expected to participate in a discussion with journalists at the National Association of Black Journalists.
Walz will campaign in Michigan on Thursday and Friday. He’ll be in Wisconsin on Saturday.
Doug Emhoff will campaign in Arizona and Nevada on Thursday.
Gwen Walz will campaign Thursday in Manchester, New Hampshire, and in Maine on Friday.
Former Bush official says he’s voting for Kamala Harris because Trump is ‘the most serious threat in a generation’

Kamala Harris’ support among Jewish voters at 36-year low for Democratic presidential candidate
Kamala Harris’ support among Jewish voters is the lowest for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1988.
Jewish voters in the U.S. are traditionally more liberal, but only 65 percent of the demographic back the vice president’s bid for the White House and 35 percent say they will vote for Donald Trump, according to a Pew Research Center poll.
The 36-year low for Democrats comes amid a raging war between Israel and Hamas terrorists operating out of Palestinian enclave of Gaza.
Harris insists she will support the Jewish state, which is the U.S.’s only ally in the Middle East, but Americans are worried that more liberal policies will help embolden terrorists to go after Israel more.
The latest Pew poll has Republicans gaining support among black, Hispanic and Jewish voters.
