President Joe Biden's reelection prospects look increasingly bleak, with most polls putting him behind former President Donald Trump.

The situation is said to have gotten so bad that the White House has decided to seek assistance from pop star Taylor Swift. 

Campaign co-chair says president "love to have" an endorsement from Swift

That's according to a report published by the Washington Post this past weekend, which noted that Swift has been "a vocal advocate for women's and LGBTQ+ rights."

Among those hoping to snag an official endorsement from the famous singer is Kate Bedingfield, who formerly served as the Biden administration's communications director.

"Ultimately knowing what she has told us — us the public — about how she feels about issues, I think it would be more powerful for her to say, 'These are the stakes in this election, and here's why I'm going to vote Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and I hope you will, too," Bedingfield told the newspaper.

Mitch Landrieu is the Biden campaign's co-chair, and he also expressed hope to the Post that Swift will back the president's reelection.

"I have no idea if Taylor Swift would actively offer herself or not, but of course, [Biden would] love to have her endorsement," Landrieu said.

Conservative commentator thinks Swift will help with ballot harvesting efforts

The Post Millennial noted that conservative commentator Jack Posobiec suggested last week that plans to include Swift have already been drawn up.

"The Democrats are clearly planning to use [Taylor Swift] later on in the year as a ballot harvesting operation," Posobiec declared.

Meanwhile, Fox News host Jesse Watters put forward the idea last month that Swift could actually be an asset of the intelligence community.

Pop star's name was brought up at a NATO conference

Watters recalled during an episode of his show how "around four years ago, the Pentagon psychological operations unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset during a NATO meeting."

"What kind of asset? A [psychological operation] of combating online misinformation," the host remarked before cutting to a clip from the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) in Tallinn, Estonia.

The footage showed a woman identifying Swift as "a fairly influential online person" who could "help encourage or promote behavior change."
