Taylor Swift to the rescue: Biden eyes celebrity endorsement stunt to boost reelection bid

President Biden’s approval ratings are in the toilet and polls show him losing to likely GOP opponent, former President Donald Trump, as young voters turn their backs on the incumbent Democrat.

Mr. Biden’s campaign is eyeing mega-pop star Taylor Swift for help.

They want Ms. Swift to endorse him, as she did in 2020. Ms. Swift’s Eras Tour has drawn as many as 71,000 fans to a single show and is the highest-grossing music tour of all time. His campaign could send him to visit during her tour for her 2024 endorsement.

The plan, supposedly hatched by Biden campaign aides and perhaps, they say, only in jest, has provoked wild conspiracy theories and anger among Republicans.

For example, some of the conspiracy theorists predict Ms. Swift will announce her endorsement after a rigged Super Bowl LVIII delivers a victory to the Kansas City Chiefs and Ms. Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, the team’s tight end.
