Trump's campaign dismissed Swift's endorsement
Despite the widespread attention garnered by Swift's endorsement, the Trump campaign has dismissed its significance. They argued that this is evidence that the "Democratic Party has unfortunately become a party of the wealthy elites." Trump's spokesperson Karoline Leavitt further stated, "There are many Swifties for Trump out there in America," suggesting that Swift's endorsement may not necessarily sway her entire fan base.
