While it’s unclear if the bracelet is part of the $20 Harris-Walz campaign merchandise released after Swift's endorsement last month, it undoubtedly resonated with the singer's fans. Since the release of her 2022 song "You're on Your Own, Kid," Swifties have been exchanging friendship bracelets at her concerts, making the accessory a symbol of connection and support.
In his closing statement, Walz acknowledged not only Swift but also other political figures like Bernie Sanders and Dick Cheney, expressing hope for the country’s future despite their differing views. However, he also faced backlash for mistakenly stating he had befriended school shooters, a misstep that overshadowed his more lighthearted moments.
