Bill Maher Is Dumbfounded By Taylor Swift’s Influence On Male Voters After Kamala Harris Endorsement
Bill Maher might want to pick up a ticket to the Eras Tour on his way to the polls.
On Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, the comedian marveled at Taylor Swift‘s influence after she previously announced her endorsement of Kamala Harris and drove more than 400,000 potential voters to the registration site.
“Let’s get to the big news this week,” Maher prefaced. “Taylor Swift finally told people who to vote for. Of course, immediately the response from the other side was, ‘Celebrity endorsements don’t matter.’ People are always so behind on these things. That’s the conventional wisdom for a long time, many celebrity endorsements don’t work… not in this case — I mean, just the number of people who were immediately registered from that Tweet.”
He continued, “And I’m sorry, but we live in Starf—er, America. George Clooney is the one who got Biden to step down. I wrote the exact same editorial he did, and so many other people did too. Nobody cared. As soon as George Clooney said it, he’s gotta go.”
Maher then attempted to unpack a “surprising” statistic about Swift’s fanbase following her post-debate endorsement of Harris.
“This was the most surprising part of it, was who she influenced,” he said. “Swift, it says, would have more influence over male voters — 27% of male voters said they’d be more likely to vote for a candidate endorsed by Swift. I must have this phenomenon gauged all wrong. I thought it would be women.”
Perhaps Maher should invest in a gay friend? They probably would have advised him against making the next joke he did about Swift.
“Now that Taylor Swift has saved democracy by endorsing Kamala Harris, she has one more mission: stop making Travis Kelce dress like a douche,” said Maher in his ‘New Rules’ segment. “I don’t own a cat but I know what it smells like when they mark their turf.”
Swift previously shared her endorsement of Harris and running mate Tim Walz on Instagram. “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,” she wrote.
“I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” added Swift. “I think she is a steady-headed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”
