Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and we are post-debate Kamala Harris, Donald Trump and
0:08
Somebody very famous. You might have heard of her. Her name is Taylor Swift
0:12
She made an endorsement in the race and she endorsed Kamala Harris
0:17
Here's why that's terrible news for Kamala Harris Before we get started, please make sure you like comment share and subscribe

0:37
It's youtube.com forward slash at explain America. It's subscribe. Absolutely free. It really helps us out. I
0:45
Think it was no shock That Taylor Swift said she was gonna vote for Kamala Harris
0:51
I think we all saw that coming and signing it childless cat lady was kind of a dig but who cares
0:57
At the end of the day, I don't think celebrity endorsements even as massive as Taylor Swift move mountains
1:03
But it was a tepid endorsement. It wasn't hey I want all my supporters to go out and vote for Kamala Harris
1:10
what she said was she wants her supporters to do their own research and pick the candidate that
1:15
Best talks to their issues. Well, that's huge She didn't you know, that's not a full-throated endorsement that's saying hey, I'm Taylor Swift. Here's who I'm voting for but you do you and
1:26
I think She handled it properly as a celebrity. Everybody wanted her to do something
1:32
She almost was almost impossible for her to stay quiet. There was no way she could endorse Trump and keep her fans
1:39
So I think she did what she had to do and I'm not mad at her for it
1:43
This is America. Everybody's a right to vote for whoever they want. Here's why it's bad news
1:48
for Kamala Harris The people that are massive Taylor Swift fans, you know, and especially women Kamala Harris is not suffering with that group
1:58
They're already voting for her the group she needs the group she's believing is
2:04
Male voters in particular black male voters and I assure you Taylor Swift did not move those voters that endorsements gonna do nothing to gain among those voters and it may actually alienate them further
2:18
Which causes a massive issue for Harris even CNN talked about it
2:23
I want you to watch this video and then let me know what you think in the comments
2:28
What does it mean? What is the significance of a celebrity endorsement? It's not just a celebrity and one of the biggest celebrities in the world the biggest celebrity in the world
2:35
But it's not just that she's a celebrity. She has people who are I mean like
2:41
Swiftologists, I mean there are people who are young people young women who might not already be engaged
2:48
in politics who read and listen to every single thing that she says and love her and
2:56
If she makes a difference even on the margins in a race like this, that is a huge difference
3:03
This was the this was the endorsement that the Harris campaign they were
3:08
Hoping for more than anything else. No one will ever say no to a Taylor Swift endorsement
3:14
100% agree with that. I think it's significant to all it is always significant to have the most powerful force in pop culture on your
3:21
Side the one contrarian view I will say is that in this moment the thing the Harris campaign needs
3:28
Perhaps the most is to figure out how to reach men They've got to figure it out here in Pennsylvania. They've got to figure out how to reach black men and
3:38
I'm not sure Taylor Swift helps them with that It's a totally different ballgame the Taylor Swift is in but they've got to figure that part out
3:47
Maybe if Travis Kelsey comes around we'd be having a different conversation
3:51
But I think that it's just important to remember that especially in this
3:56
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that is That that is just it's a give-and-take here where you gain some and you lose some and she really needs to start
4:04
I don't want to rush us off the Taylor Swift ology discussion
4:09
and we but I do want to there is another piece of news, which is that the
4:14
Harris campaign put out a release and has challenged Donald Trump to another debate that had been somewhat in doubt and they say we're ready
4:21
For another debate. Let's have it. My guess is after the vice presidential debate in October, but they're ready for round two
