Trump Slams Taylor Swift After Endorsement of Kamala Harris
Former U.S. President Donald Trump recently voiced strong disapproval of pop sensation Taylor Swift after she publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.
Swift’s endorsement came shortly after the presidential debate between Trump and Harris, prompting a surge in visits to a federal voter registration site.
Despite this influx, a new poll revealed that her endorsement had minimal impact on voter decisions.
Conducted online between September 11 and 13, 2024, the poll included 3,276 adult respondents.
Of those surveyed, 81% said Swift’s support did not influence their likelihood of voting for Harris.
Among women under 30, 8% said they were more likely to vote for Harris due to the endorsement, while 13% said they were less likely, and 78% indicated it did not affect their decision.
In response to the poll results, Trump expressed his frustration on his TRUTH social media platform on September 15, posting a simple but emphatic message: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT.”
His comment reflects ongoing tensions between Trump and high-profile celebrities who have publicly opposed his political stance.
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has expressed confidence that the northern region will support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the next election.
According to Matawalle, the administration has delivered major infrastructure projects and development initiatives across the region.
“For us in the North, our votes for the APC and President Tinubu will show clearly that we appreciate what he’s doing for the region.”
He added “If you see the dualisation of the Abuja–Kaduna, Zaria–Sokoto, and Ilela–Badagry expressways, you will agree with me that the North is experiencing key projects it never had in the past, even when a northerner was president.”
It was reported and revealed by the National Coordinator of the Obi Movement that an attack occurred at the movement against Peter Obi in Edo State.
He stated that the armed people had guns and shot at Peter Obi and his members of the movement.
“At the formal declaration of Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress, armed individuals followed us from the ADC Secretariat to the residence of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
They shot at the gate and destroyed several vehicles in what appears to be a survived assassination attempt on our lives. Democracy is in danger.”
