All purchases of the bracelets contribute to the Harris Victory Fund.

Harris played Swift’s song “The Man” at a post-debate appearance to leverage the endorsement.

Former President Donald Trump called into Fox’s “Fox & Friends” program Wednesday morning and was asked about Swift’s endorsement of Harris.

“I was not a Taylor Swift fan,” Trump said. “It was just a question of time. You couldn’t possibly endorse Biden. You look at Biden, you couldn’t possibly endorse him. But she’s a very liberal person, she seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”

In 2020, Swift endorsed President Joe Biden.

In Swift’s 2024 endorsement post, she urged voters to register to vote and do their own research on the issues.
