The Politicization of a Celebrity Romance

This chapter discusses the politicization of Taylor Swift's endorsement of Joe Biden and how it reflects the current state of politics. The speakers criticize the attempts to use Swift's popularity to boost Biden's image and argue that his decline in polls is not due to young women turning away from the Democratic Party, but rather the abandonment of traditional Democratic constituencies. They also discuss the mistakes made by Biden's campaign in trying to appeal to the youth vote through TikTok influencers.
