Celebrity endorsements are not what they used to be…
According to a Rasmussen poll released on Monday, the majority of Americans are rejecting voting advice from their favorite celebs, making Hollywood’s political endorsements more meaningless than ever.
75% of Americans surveyed said a celebrity’s endorsement made no difference to their 2024 vote.
From Breitbart News:
Surprisingly, respondents who identify as liberal were more likely than others to disregard the opinion of a celebrity, with a full 80 percent saying a Hollywood endorsement didn’t sway their decision this election season. Among conservatives, that figure was 73 percent.
The results come on the heels of Kamala Harris’ loss to President-elect Donald Trump after Harris actively courted Hollywood celebrities and other entertainment industry elites — even going so far as the spend tens of millions of dollars on pop concerts and promotional events like the Oprah Winfrey town hall livestream.
Here’s a look at some of the big names that endorsed Kamala Harris in 2024:
Oprah — Estimated net worth: $3 billion
Taylor Swift — Estimated net worth: $1.6 billion
Tyler Perry — Estimated net worth: $1.4 billion
Bruce Springsteen — Estimated net worth: $1.2 billion
Arnold Schwarzenegger — Estimated net worth: $1 billion
Beyonce — Estimated net worth: $800 million
George Clooney — Estimated net worth: $500 million
Robert De Niro — Estimated net worth: $500 million
Barbra Streisand — Estimated net worth: $460 million
David Letterman — Estimated net worth: $400 million
Election-eve concerts in key swing states cost the Harris campaign as much as $20 million. In the end, they made very little difference.
