The role of celebrity endorsements in modern politics

Season 2024 Episode 260 | 7m 57s

Pop culture and politics have a history of crossover. These intersections take on new significance during an election year, but how important are celebrity endorsements of candidates, and do they actually make a difference in voters’ minds? Lisa Desjardins speaks with Mark Harvey, author of “Celebrity Influence: Politics, Persuasion, and Issue-Based Advocacy,” for more on this topic.
