So this was not something I expected to stumble across this evening. Singer Taylor Swift has endorsed Democrat Phil Bredesen over Republican Marsha Blackburn in the Tennessee Senate race! She also endorsed Jim Cooper for the House, in TN-05.
Per her Instagram account (which sports 112 *million* followers), Swift wrote that she normally stays out of politics but couldn’t sit this one out.
Here’s the text of her post, hopefully it is readable:
It reads in part:
“As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record inCongress appalls and terrifies me… I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives “
Seems like a nice bonus! For anyone interested in supporting this winnable Senate race, you can go here: Bredesen for Senate
Cooper’s website can be found here: Cooper for Congress
EDIT: adding Bredesen’s tweet about this:
