Trump VP Hopeful Invites Taylor Swift To ‘Join The Campaign And Support President Trump’ On CNN

Rep. Byron Donalds told CNN’s Kate Bolduan that former President Donald Trump would welcome pop phenomenon Taylor Swift’s support, and invited her to “join the campaign.”

Trump met with congressional Republicans on Capitol Hill Thursday, many of whom he had not seen since the January 6 attack, and for the first time since becoming a convicted felon. It was a wild meeting that produced a lot of attention-getting quotes — including remarks about Swift’s politics .

Rep. Donalds — a VP short-lister and key surrogate for Trump — was a guest on Wednesday’s edition of CNN News Central , during which anchor Kate Bolduan asked him about the Swift chatter in the meeting.

With a hint of amused incredulity, Bolduan asked “Did Donald Trump actually — did Donald Trump think that he could get her support?”

Donalds said no, but that if Swift were to go Trump “we would love to have you”:

BOLDUAN: As I mentioned, lots of other topics. One thing that came out I just wanted to ask you about. Did he really gripe about Taylor Swift in the meeting with you all and wonder why she’s with Biden and not with him?

DONALDS: No, I think he was more talking about maybe she’s not with him anymore because, I mean, look, Taylor Swift sees what everybody sweet sees. Joe Biden’s really not here. He’s not with us. You know, he’s doing, I guess, the best he can. But the stature and the image of leadership that Americans expect in the United States presidency is not embodied by Joe Biden. Everybody knows that.

BOLDUAN: Did Donald Trump actually — did Donald Trump think that he could get her support?

DONALDS: No, no, no. He just talked about it in terms of Joe Biden. Obviously, you know, Taylor, if you want to come on and join the campaign and support President Trump, we would love to have you.

But that’s something that she’s going to figure out with herself and her team probably. But look, at the end of the day, you’re seeing a lot of celebrities beginning to support President Trump. The reason why is because the country is a flat-out mess.

Joe Biden has made every wrong decision. The Democrats have supported every decision. Frankly, there’s a lot of these Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren policies that he has executed here in our country. It’s simply not working.

So that’s why you have a lot of celebrities who were very in favor of Joe Biden four years ago are now very, very quiet. And some of them have come out for Donald Trump.
