The Diplomat star Keri Russell has praised Taylor Swift for endorsing Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election.
Swift endorsed the Vice President and Democratic nominee last month, writing in a statement that “she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them”.
Harris in turn shared that she is “very proud” to have Swift’s support in the upcoming US presidential election.
When asked if Russell, who met Harris before she became the Democrat presidential candidate earlier this year, would endorse Harris, she told Variety: “If I had my wish, I would be invisible – that’s who I am. I would give all the money in the world, but I would be invisible. Someone like George Clooney, he’s at an age, he should swing and swing hard.”
As for Taylor Swift she added: “Oh, fucking swing and swing big, she should absolutely be doing everything she’s doing.
“But nobody cares about me. I just want to be hidden in my little cave. But I will give, I mean, yes. And I’ve listened to every Ezra Klein podcast about her – you know what I mean? I don’t think I’m gonna sway it one way or the other; I have no social media. But the heavy hitters should stand their ground.”
Russell plays an ambassador in the Netflix political drama who could be set to be a Vice President herself after events in season one.
A trailer for the the second series, which lands on October 31, five days before the election was recently shared, which you can view above.
Along with Russell, The Diplomat stars Rufus Sewell, David Gyasi, Rory Kinnear, Ali Ahn, Ato Essandoh, Miguel Sandoval and Celia Imrie.
