🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Taylor Swift’s new Voter Registration post results in record-breaking registration numbers.
During National Voting Day, the pop superstar shared a message on Instagram urging her 272 million followers to register to vote.
The results were astounding.
After Swift’s message, 157,041 eligible voters visited the registration site, marking the largest National Voter Registration Day since 2020.
There was also a 72% increase in 18-year-old registrations compared to 2019 and a 115% increase in that age range compared to 2022.
This isn’t the first time Swift has reminded her fans of the importance of voting. A post on July also led to record breaking registrations.
THIS IS IMPORTANT! 👇
We all know that Gen Z is a powerhouse group that is already primed to vote for progressives and Democrats!
We need to make an effort to erase the barriers to registering and encourage young people to vote!
Thank you @taylorswift13 for helping to make this happen! 💙

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.

My message to the people of Florida is that at times like these, America comes together.
We put aside our differences and pull together as one team. One America.
However long it takes, the U.S. Government will be there.
If I had to pick between a president who occasionally forgets stuff or one that literally attempted to overthrow the government I’m picking the one that forgets stuff.
Every time AOC speaks, the possibilities of what we could be and should be, are so obvious.

Socialism is a scare word they've hurled at every advance the people have made. Socialism is what they called public power, social security, deposit insurance, and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for anything that helps all people.

87 years ago today, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Social Security into law.
But MAGA Republicans want to put Social Security on the chopping block.
Democrats will never stop fighting to protect Social Security for America’s seniors.
Students and teachers are walking back into their classrooms this morning with no laws in this state having changed since Uvalde.

Since the start of my presidency, my economic plan has helped create 9.5 million jobs, reach a 50-year record low unemployment rate, and achieve zero percent inflation in July.
And this week, I’ll build on that progress by signing the Inflation Reduction Act into law.
