Barstool Sports founder and self-proclaimed “Swiftie” Dave Portnoy said Wednesday that while Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris doesn’t change his opinion of the pop star, he plans to “vote the other way.”
“As the king of Swifties, people are asking me what I think about her endorsement of Kamala. I don’t care at all. People can vote for whoever they want in this country. How someone votes will never change my opinion of a person,” Portnoy posted on X.
“I’m voting the other way, but to each their own.”
Swift endorsed Harris for president minutes after the Democratic nominee walked off the stage at the presidential debate against her Republican opponent, Donald Trump.
Writing on Instagram, the singer said she will vote for Harris because, “she fights for rights and causes that I believe need a fighter to defend them.”
“I’ve done my research and I’ve made my choice. Your research is yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially for first-time voters: Remember that in order to vote you must you’re signed up!” Swift wrote to her 283 million followers.
“I also see that it is much easier to vote early. I will link where I register and find early voting dates and information in my history.”
Earlier this week, Portnoy revealed on Fox Business that he plans to vote for former President Trump after host Stewart Varney said he looks like a “Trump guy.”
“Yes, I’m voting for Trump. I don’t know that I would call myself a Trump guy, if I thought there was a candidate that was better, I would be open to having him,” Portnoy said.
“I wouldn’t have voted for him in the Republican primary, but I’m voting for him now.”
Trump backed off on Swift’s endorsement of his opponent on a call to “Fox & Friends” Wednesday morning, saying he wasn’t surprised by her endorsement of Harris and that it was “just a matter of time.
“She couldn’t [â¦] will probably support Biden. You look at Biden, you can’t support him,” Trump said, clarifying that he is “not a Taylor Swift fan.”
“But she is a very liberal person. She always seems to support a Democrat,” he added, “and she’ll probably pay a price for it. [â¦] in the market.”
