‘I Am Incredibly Grateful’: Walz Thanks Taylor Swift for Endorsement
Pop star backed Democrats in social media post
Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz expressed gratitude late Tuesday for pop star Taylor Swift’s decision to endorse him and Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.
The mega pop star, currently on a worldwide tour, announced her decision to back the Harris-Walz ticket on social media following the debate between Harris and her opponent, Donald Trump.
Swift made her endorsement with a photo of her and her cat, in a jab at Trump’s running mate, Republican Sen JD Vance of Ohio, who has repeatedly belittled women without children as “childless cat ladies.”
Walz almost immediately thanked Swift on national TV.
“I am incredibly grateful, first of all, to Taylor Swift. I say that also as a cat owner, a fellow cat owner. Look, you heard it, we know it was there. That was eloquent and it was clear. That’s the type of courage we need in America to stand up,” the Minnesota governor said. “We’ve seen it out of those Republicans who were at the [Democratic National Convention]. We’ve seen it out of women who would like to have their own personal lives kept personal, but are forced to go out there because they nearly died because they can’t get abortion services in a pregnancy.
“And now you have someone like Taylor Swift coming out, making that very clear. This will be the opportunity, Swifties, KamalaHarris.com, get on over there, give us a hand and get things going,” Walz added.
