It really helps us out. So guys, everybody knows, the world knows, that Taylor Swift has endorsed Kamala Harris, and I call it a tepid endorsement

She said she's voting for her, she gave her reasons, but then she told people to do their own research and vote how they see fit

Vote for the candidate of their choice. That's not a ringing endorsement

And I think, from a business perspective, it's wise, because you don't want to seem like you are anti-MAGA, anti-Republican

When you have the business model she has, a lot of her audience is in MAGA country

A lot of their parents that buy the merchandise are MAGA supporters, right

The problem for Harris is that poll show, and the one, well, not the one, but one of the core demographics, key for Democrats, that she's lagging in, is young voters

And this is exactly who Taylor Swift, who Beyonce, can appeal to

Now, that they're actually talking about in the campaign, can we get Taylor Swift and Beyonce to do concerts for us

Can we get them to do events for us? Because that, that would drive the young voters

I don't know if the voters that go to see a Taylor Swift concert that Kamala Harris happens to be appearing after are then necessarily going to march and vote for her

Same with Beyonce. I don't know if that's the case, but it would be helpful for this core demographic that she needs desperately

I want you to watch this report on it and why she's in trouble, and then let me know what you think in the comments

All along during this campaign, and that is the underperformance that both Joe Biden and now even Kamala Harris has among young voters

All right. So this is the Democrat versus Trump margin among voters age 18 to 29 or under the age of 30

You go back four years ago at this point. Look, Joe Biden had a 28 point advantage, a 28 point advantage over Donald Trump

Now, you look when Joe Biden dropped out of the race, he was up by just seven points

Now, Kamala Harris has improved on Joe Biden standing, but look at this. She's only up by 15 points

That is significantly less than Joe Biden was up at this point among the youngest voters in our electorate

It's only about half the margin that Joe Biden was pulling in. So Kamala Harris will absolutely welcome in the support of Taylor Swift if she can move young voters at all

because the bottom line is Kamala Harris is, in fact, not doing as well among young voters as you might expect a Democrat to necessarily be doing based upon history

And what we heard from Taylor Swift last night was a call to register to vote, get involved

Why? How much of voter registration and why is that key? How important is that

Yeah, I mean, look, let's go to the key battleground states of Pennsylvania and North Carolina

All right. And what we're going to do here is look at the Democratic advantage over Republicans in voter registration

This is party registration. Registering as a Democrat or Republican or unaffiliated

Look, if you go back to September of 2020, look among active voters in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

So Democrats would look at that. A five hundred and fifty nine thousand voter edge over Republicans

You jump now. Look, Democrats still have an edge. But look how much that's dropped. It's now just one hundred and sixty nine thousand. We're talking about the Republicans closing the gap by nearly four hundred thousand voters

It's just a four year time span. You go to North Carolina. It's the same exact trend, right

You go back to September of 2020. You see Democrats with a four hundred and fifteen thousand voter edge

And now they still hold an edge, but it's just one hundred and twenty eight thousand. And of course, both of these states were determined by less than one hundred thousand voters back in 2020

So the bottom line is Republicans have been doing a significantly better job of registering voters than Democrats have been doing over the last four years

And getting folks to switch over from Democratic registration to Republican registration

So, yeah, Kamala Harris would definitely welcome the idea if Taylor Swift could bring in some more younger voters, Democratic leaning voters in the electorate

Because the bottom line is Republicans have been doing a heck of a lot better job of registering voters than Democrats have over the last four years
