Griffin previously worked under both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence before resigning and taking a position at “The View.”
After resigning and speaking out against her former boss and current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, The View cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin is predicting how Taylor Swift might be able to sprinkle a little political karma into the race.
Though she’s on a month-long hiatus from The View as the talk show prepares for a new season in a new Manhattan studio, Griffin is still firing off Hot Topics on her social media feed. Amid the ongoing Democratic National Convention in Chicago, the 35-year-old speculated on how Swift could use her influential might to help the party’s nominee, Kamala Harris, win the November election.

“If Taylor Swift endorses Kamala – which I think she will – the best way for the campaign to deploy her: have her do one-night-only shows in battleground states targeting 1st time voters, where the price to attend is registering to vote,” Griffin proposed on X.
Griffin, a longtime fan of Swift’s, previously said last year on The View‘s Behind the Table podcast that she thinks Swift could actually defeat Trump herself if she chose to run for president, given the pop star’s proven economic and social power.
Though she hasn’t explicitly endorsed a candidate, Swift has been credited with inspiring a large number of young people to register to vote, after she shared a social media post pointing to Vote.org.
Griffin, a Republican, has steadily criticized Trump during her tenure on The View, often using concerning personal experiences with Trump as her basis to warn Americans of the dangers of electing him to a second term later this year.

Still, she also praised Pence, who also drew Trump’s ire amid the January 2021 Capitol insurrection.
“Yes, it’s personal for me. It will never not break my heart to hear a mob that was lied to by Trump chant for the life of my former boss Mike Pence. That is who Trump is,” Griffin shared earlier this week on X.

While she’s criticized Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance, Griffin also lightly opposed Harris’ selection of Minnesota politician Tim Walz as her VP pick, praising his service with the National Guard despite labeling him a “disappointing” choice whose left-wing politics she said would land as “radioactive with swing voters.”
