Caitlin Clark hinted at her political beliefs for the first time by "liking" Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris on social media Tuesday night.
Swift announced her support for Harris in the upcoming presidential election by posting her thoughts on Instagram minutes after the conclusion of the debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump.
"I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them," Swift, who also endorsed President Joe Biden and Harris in 2020, wrote. "I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades."
Over eight million people, including Clark, have liked Swift’s post.
The WNBA is well-known for its players' activism, with many publicly supporting Democratic candidates in past and current elections. However, Clark has not publicly discussed her political beliefs. The Rookie of the Year favorite is, however, an outspoken "Swiftie." Videos of the WNBA star singing along to Swift’s music during warm-ups have been widely shared on social media. Iowa Basketball posted a video last season of Clark passionately singing the words to "Enchanted," which she said was her favorite song by Swift.
Clark's home state of Iowa and Indiana, where she plays for the Fever, voted for Trump in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.
