WNBA rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has not exactly been one to broadcast her political beliefs publicly, but this week, she gave a pretty clear hint about who she will be voting for in the upcoming presidential election.
On Tuesday night, pop sensation Taylor Swift officially announced her endorsement of Kamala Harris over Donald Trump with a post on Instagram, saying that she believes Harris “fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.”
“Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country,” Swift wrote in a post on social media.
“Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.”
“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.
“I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.”
The post received more than 8 million “likes” on Instagram in 12 hours, and one of the people who “liked” the post was none other than Caitlin Clark.
Obviously, this is not an official endorsement from Clark by any means, but it is a pretty clear message about where she stands on the two candidates.
