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.
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the outcome of the 2027 general elections will be based on the performance of candidates, not defections.
The party stressed that defections alone do not win elections, noting that credibility, leadership, and results matter more. This was said in response to comments credited to former governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC also dismissed claims that the opposition’s performance in Lagos weakened the party, pointing out that voters later reaffirmed their support by re-electing the APC in the governorship election and subsequent polls.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.
The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.
Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.
