Political Endorsements- celebrity and otherwise

[kazoolaw]

There has been much discussion about the effectiveness of celebrity endorsements: which singer, actor, influencer (can’t believe I wrote that) is endorsing which candidate. Has any celeb endorsement swayed your vote? If not, is there one that would?*

Many newspapers have decided not to endorse a presidential candidate.** Do media endorsements affect your decisions on who to vote for?*** Does the fact that in this presidential election there is an absence of endorsements affect your thinking?****

*No, but I’d be interested in hearing Kermit the Frog’s thoughts.
**My conservative cynical nature doubts they would ever have endorsed DJT.
***No
****Makes me think “Why now, with Harris running?”

I think the traditional celebrity (actor, model, singer, athlete, etc...) doesn't do much to move the vote.

But the definition is a little different in the 21st century. Is Elon a celebrity? RFK Jr.? Tulsi? What about Joe Rogan? Then there are the "celebrities" that found some minor fame through social media, podcasts, etc...

I see a lot of centrist democrats and libertarians commenting that they're not voting for Trump, and they're voting for Elon, RFK, etc... since Trump is bringing them on board.
