Sydney Sweeney's Ad Gets Trump's Stamp of Approval Amid Claims She's a Republican

Sydney Sweeney has never been far from headlines—but her latest controversy has nothing to do with fashion or film. Instead, it's politics that have thrust her into the spotlight, after reports emerged suggesting she may be a registered Republican in Florida—just as former US President Donald Trump publicly endorsed one of her recent advertisements.

The speculation exploded following an American Eagle campaign where the 'Euphoria' star quipped she had great 'jeans'—a pun many interpreted as 'genes', triggering accusations of racial messaging and ties to eugenics.

Pun or Provocation? Sweeney's Ad Sparks Fierce Debate

The controversial commercial, intended as a light-hearted play on words, saw Sweeney saying she has great 'jeans'. But what was pitched as clever wordplay drew widespread outrage, with critics claiming the ad carried eugenicist undertones.

The backlash quickly escalated, overshadowing even previous controversies the actress faced—such as online mockery over her bathwater routine—prompting digital sleuths to dig into her political affiliations.

Republican Rumours: What The Records Reveal

As criticism mounted over her 'controversial' advertisements, the Euphoria actress now faces a different kind of speculation regarding her political leanings. Many are openly questioning whether she is a Republican. Even more pointedly, did she cast her vote for Donald Trump?

Records show that a Sydney Bernice Sweeney, whose details align with the actress, became an active Republican voter in Monroe County, Florida, on 14 June 2024. This information comes from multiple sources, including Florida's Department of State voter records, as reported by Newsweek.

The initial claim about Sydney Sweeney's Republican Party registration emerged from a viral post on X by user @time222smoke. Following this, BuzzFeed confirmed Sweeney's voter registration status by examining publicly available records.

The Unconfirmed Voter Record

While voter records in Florida show that Sydney Bernice Sweeney was registered as a Republican in Monroe County on 14 June 2024, there's no official confirmation connecting this registration directly to the Hollywood actress who grew up in Spokane and now lives in Los Angeles.

Although she owns a $13.5 million (£10.16 million) residence in Florida's Summerland Key, which aligns with the state of the registration, public reports do not explicitly state that this voter entry belongs to her. Furthermore, Sweeney herself has not released any statement confirming or denying these claims.

It is worth noting that while publicly available data indicates a Republican registration for a Sydney Bernice Sweeney, there remains no definitive confirmation that this record pertains directly to the well-known actor. Despite this ambiguity, Donald Trump has already voiced his reaction to her recent advertisement and the ongoing speculation about her political alignment.

Trump's Unexpected Endorsement

Speaking on Sunday, Trump offered his thoughts on the matter. He publicly stated, 'You'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans ... I'm glad you told me that.' He added, 'If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic!' This declaration from Trump came after a reporter raised Sweeney's possible Republican ties.

A History of Scrutiny: Past Claims Resurface

Sweeney's Republican voter registration has recently surfaced, arriving after a period of intense examination of her political stance. Back in 2022, photographs showing the actress at a family birthday gathering, with some attendees wearing 'Make America Great Again' hats, had previously ignited controversy.

In response to the backlash, Sweeney used social media to implore people to 'stop making assumptions,' explaining that the event was 'an innocent celebration' and not meant as a political statement.

Silence From Sweeney as Backlash Builds

As of now, Sweeney has remained silent about the most recent controversy. No official statement has been released from her representatives, leaving the public to speculate on everything—from her political views to the creative direction behind her American Eagle campaign.

While the actor's true affiliations remain unconfirmed, the ongoing discourse underscores how quickly pop culture and politics can collide in the age of viral commentary and public records.
