Fox News anchor Judge Jeanine Pirro cautioned pop star Taylor Swift against entering the political arena, particularly by endorsing President Biden’s reelection bid. Pirro expressed concerns about Swift potentially alienating her diverse fan base, known as “Swifties,” by aligning herself with a specific political ideology. Her advice comes in light of reports suggesting that Biden’s campaign is actively seeking Swift’s endorsement for the upcoming general election.
Although Swift endorsed Biden in the 2020 presidential election and has previously spoken out on social and political issues, including LGBTQ+ rights and women’s reproductive rights, she has not yet commented on endorsing him again. Notably, her social media influence was demonstrated last year when a single Instagram post prompted thousands of new voter registrations through the nonpartisan nonprofit Vote.org.
Pirro referenced polling data indicating mixed responses to Swift’s potential endorsements, with some respondents indicating increased likelihood of voting for a candidate endorsed by Swift, while others expressed the opposite sentiment. Pirro suggested that these contrasting views could ultimately nullify the impact of Swift’s political involvement.
In conclusion, Pirro advised Swift to steer clear of political entanglements, citing potential risks to her reputation and the uncertainty of her influence on Biden’s support among young voters.
