Vote.org on Monday and Tuesday saw its largest spike in new registrations in the 2024 cycle, with 38,500 new democracy participants signing up, Politico Playbook reports, adding that the total was even higher than from that one post by Taylor Swift and that most of the noobs were under 34.
Seems significant. What would also be significant is if Swift gets behind Kamala Harris. The merest hint of a threat she would endorse Joe Biden (again) incited an absolute shitstorm of MAGA panic earlier this year, boiling so furiously that even convicted felon former President Trump himself could not (and still can’t) contain his deep anxiety over it. We’re actually more eager to see that flare up again than we are the possible endorsement from the 21st century’s female Elvis Presley itself.
