US Election: Not Taylor Swift or Elon Musk, THESE celebrities are ‘most influential endorsers’ in swing states

The outcome of the US Presidential Election significantly depends on seven swing states — Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada and Arizona. The most important among them is said to be Pennsylvania, where presidential candidate Donald Trump fell victim to an assassination attempt during a poll rally.

Tesla and SpaceX owner Elon Musk, who is also the world's richest man, has been extensively promoting Donald Trump's candidature for the upcoming US polls. The billionaire made his first appearance at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on October 6. Besides Musk, Boxing legend Mike Tyson, former National Football League (NFL) star Antonio Brown and American rapper 50 Cent.

Meanwhile, Trump's rival and US Vice President Kamala Harris has received support from influential celebrities such as singer Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Cardi B, former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama.

But who among these is the most popular endorser for Trump and Harris in 7 swing states?

Both candidates, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, have received significant endorsements from a host of celebrities – from music, sports, business and entertainment industries. They aim to sway public opinion in seven key states where the contest is particularly close.

But the "most popular endorser" among them is not Taylor Swift, Elon Musk, Beyonce or Barak Obama.

A survey released by AceOdds showed that 50 Cent is the most popular endorser for Trump in all seven US swing states, while Billie Eilish is the top celebrity endorser for Kamala Harris.

AceOdds, a leading bet calculator service, said their research is based on total search volume across all swing states and social media following.

'Kamala Harris’ top celebrity endorsements are more popular than Trump’s'

The survey suggested that the collective social media following among the top seven endorsers for Harris reaches over 1,393,000,000. "This is significantly higher than the reach of Trump’s endorsers, who collectively command 389,000,000 followers across social media platforms," the survey claimed.

This suggested that Harris’s celebrity endorsers have greater global influence, which can eventually contribute to a higher visibility for her campaign message.

The report, however, revealed that in swing states, the difference in search interest between endorsers for both candidates has been narrower. It said Kamala’s top endorsers received a total of 78,986 searches, while that of Trump’s followed closely behind with 66,157.

"This indicates that the most influential celebrity endorsements are very much state-specific rather than nationally overwhelming," according to the data analysis.
