Well then Taylor Swift didn't like the truth
Shortly after the debate, Harris received a major
endorsement from Taylor Swift, who called the vice president “a steady-handed, gifted leader.” Swift signed her endorsement as “Childless Cat Lady,” a reference to
controversial past comments from Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance.
The Democratic vice presidential nominee, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and Harris both learned of the endorsement in real time after the debate Tuesday.

Only a handful of battleground states will decide the outcome of the election.
Democrats haven’t won North Carolina’s electoral votes since 2008, when President
Barack Obama was elected for the first time. However, Trump’s 2020 margin of victory of 1.3 percentage points was his narrowest win of any state that year, and Democrats hope that North Carolina’s growing and diversifying population will give them an edge this time.
Harris’s campaign said Thursday’s trip will be her ninth to the state this year, and recent polls show a tight race. More than two dozen combined campaign offices — supporting Harris and the rest of the party’s candidates — have been opened, and popular Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper is one of her top surrogates.
Republicans have been confident about Trump’s chances in the state, and the former president
held rallies there in August.
Registered independents — known in North Carolina as unaffiliated — are the state’s largest voting bloc and are usually key to determining outcomes in statewide elections. A state Supreme Court ruling this week affirming that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
must be removed from North Carolina ballots could bring additional votes Trump’s way given Kennedy’s endorsement.
The state’s Republican Party has dismissed concerns that a poor showing by its gubernatorial nominee, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, could
harm the electoral chances of other party candidates, including Trump.
