Pop icon Taylor Swift has publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris following a debate with former President Donald Trump. Swift, who has 283 million followers on Instagram, took to the platform to announce her support, highlighting what she saw as an articulate debate performance from Harris…and comprehensive policy platform.
