No one cares as 94.9 million Swift followers are 13 year old girls.

But........As I already posted a short while ago:-

 

Local unions within the International Brotherhood of Teamsters are putting their support behind Vice President Harris in November, despite the wider union’s decision to withhold a presidential endorsement this year.

 

“Michigan Teamsters President Kevin Moore and the Executive Board on behalf of 245,000 active and retired Teamsters enthusiastically endorse the Harris-Walz campaign,” Kevin D. Moore, president of the Michigan Teamsters Joint Council No. 43, said Wednesday in a document posted to Facebook.

“We strongly support their continued commitment to the issues that matter most to working families and our nation’s middle class,” Moore continued. “Both Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz have consistently demonstrated their dedication to championing the labor movement, safeguarding social security, and ensuring access to quality healthcare for all Americans, including women’s reproductive rights.”

 

Totally irrelevant. 58% support for Trump among this demographic is terrifying news for the Harris campaign. 

 

And the sample size of 21,000 is astounding. No regular pollster could afford the resources to pull that number of COMMITTED RESPONDENTS. 

 

Cos here's the difference. These are card carrying union members. They will answer to their union as they know it matters. That's not a loyalty to truth other polluters can rely upon. 

 

HERE'S THE PROBLEM FOR THE DEMS. 

 

Local unions will run into an organisational brick wall. The real value of endorsement is feet-on-the-ground activism. The local unions will create conflict within their memberships by trying to use manpower and financial resources to support Harris.

Taylor Swift’s followers tend to span a broad age range, reflecting her wide-reaching appeal across generations. However, specific data and studies indicate the following general age profile of her fan base:

1. **Millennials (ages 25-40)**: This group makes up a significant portion of her followers. Many fans grew up with Swift during her early country music days and have followed her as she transitioned into pop music. Millennials often relate to her lyrics about relationships, self-discovery, and emotional growth.

2. **Gen Z (ages 10-24)**: A substantial portion of her newer followers belong to Gen Z, particularly after Swift's presence on platforms like TikTok, where younger fans engage with her music and re-releases, such as **"Taylor’s Version"** albums. Swift's savvy use of social media has kept her relevant among younger audiences.

3. **Gen X and Boomers (ages 40+)**: Older fans are drawn to her storytelling, live performances, and cultural impact. Swift's ability to connect emotionally through her lyrics resonates with fans beyond the typical youth demographic.

Good news, I was a Teamster member 

for  20 years retiring in 2005 .I worked for Consolidated Freight & ABF!

Nafta was the issue back than, bush started it and Clinton signed it into law.

Mexican & Canadian Truckers being allowed to take their loads across the border, cost us to loose many Union jobs!

NATFA was replaced by USMCA on 2020 by POTUS Trump. It didn't change Mexican and Canadian truckers from crossing the US border under NAFTA. Since the carrier nationality wasn't changed to solely US, it kept a status quo for US Union truckers.
