President Joe Biden and his team are reportedly eager to secure Taylor Swift’s endorsement for the 2024 campaign. However, if history is any indication, there is likely nothing to worry about. The New York Times recently conducted an in-depth analysis of Biden’s campaign, focusing specifically on his aides’ discussions and brainstorming on ways to get Swift to officially support his candidacy.
According to the outlet, Biden’s aides and surrogates have been actively discussing their approach to Taylor Swift in recent months. The conversations have become so intense that they have discouraged applicants for social media positions from proposing any more ideas on how to involve Swift. It seems that they already have more than enough strategies and do not want any additional input.
One suggestion that has been jokingly floated, according to the Times, is sending Biden to one of Swift’s tour stops. However, it appears that this idea may have been discussed when Swift was performing in the United States. Currently, her tour is on its international leg, and she is not scheduled to return for any American shows until the fall, which would be too late for the campaign.
It is unclear whether Biden’s team has reached out to Swift or if they have been rebuffed. The reason Biden and his team want Swift’s endorsement is clear – she has hundreds of millions of fans and is arguably more popular today than ever before. What is strange about this report is that it suggests it has been somewhat difficult to get Swift on board or that her endorsement is not guaranteed.
However, this is puzzling because Swift has already endorsed Biden in the past. During the 2020 election, she publicly backed him and Kamala Harris while criticizing former President Donald Trump. Swift’s support was acknowledged by Biden himself, who thanked her for speaking out during a crucial moment in the nation’s history.
Swift’s liberal views and her consistent support for Democrats in the political arena make it seem like a no-brainer for her to endorse Biden again. However, if this report is to be believed, it appears that Swift is making the President and his team work for her endorsement, causing some discomfort in their efforts to court her.
Nonetheless, it is highly likely that Swift will eventually come around and support Biden. In the meantime, it seems that she is keeping him and his camp on their toes as they try to win her over. Swift’s influence in today’s political climate is evident, as demonstrated by a recent poll that indicated she alone could sway the 2024 election. Team Biden is well aware of the importance of securing her support and will likely continue their efforts to get her on board.
Ultimately, Swift’s endorsement will carry weight and could significantly impact the election. While it may be causing some anxiety for Biden’s team at the moment, it is unlikely that Swift would suddenly align herself with the MAGA movement. She has made her political stance abundantly clear, and it is only a matter of time before she publicly backs Biden once again.
