JD Vance returns fire at Taylor Swift after she endorses Kamala Harris as a ‘childless cat lady’
SUMMARY
Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance fired back at Taylor Swift after her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, calling the pop star a "disconnected billionaire" during a Fox News interview. Vance argued that Swift, with her estimated $1.3 billion fortune, is out of touch with everyday Americans’ struggles, saying, “It doesn’t hurt Taylor Swift. When housing prices become unaffordable, it doesn’t affect Taylor Swift or any other billionaire. It does affect middle-class Americans all over our country.” Swift’s endorsement, posted on Instagram, followed the first presidential debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump. In the post, Swift referred to herself as a "childless cat lady" while praising Harris’s leadership and dedication to LGBTQ+ rights, abortion rights, and access to IVF. Vance’s comments came after his 2021 remark about "childless cat ladies" in the Democratic Party resurfaced.
