Horror novelist Stephen King wrote in a social media post that wearing a shirt in support of Vice President Kamala Harris has convinced Make America Great Again (MAGA) supporters to vote for her instead of former president Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election.
King, who is a vocal critic of Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday afternoon, "Wow! MAGA guys and gals saw me in my Kamala shirt and immediately said, 'Okay, I'll vote for her!'"
MAGA supporters are those who rally behind Trump's slogan, which has become synonymous with his political platform and conservative ideals.
King called the alleged experience "amazing!"
Newsweek reached out to Harris' and Trump's campaign for comment via email on Thursday. Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung previously said that "Stephen King is a dumbass" in a statement to Newsweek.
His comments came nearly an hour and a half after he posted a photo of himself in a black shirt featuring an image of Harris in the style of former President Barack Obama's campaign graphic, with the words "I'm Speaking."
Harris famously used the phrase in 2020 during a vice-presidential debate with then-Vice President Mike Pence, when he interrupted her, and she responded, "Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking." After that debate, shirts like the one King is wearing began appearing on online storefronts.
However, in a more recent instance, she used the phrase while at a campaign rally in Michigan last week after several pro-Palestinian protestors interrupted her rally chanting "Kamala, Kamala you can't hide! We won't vote for genocide."
She called out the protesters, saying, "You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I'm speaking."

Real MAGA voters would not knowingly vote for anyone who even resembles a Communist & we seem to have plenty of those lurking around. Some are pretty obvious; some maybe not, but they will come poking out of the woodwork sooner or later.
How much did that cost? Let’s look at THEIR bank records 🙄
the “I’m Speaking” shirt shows Kamalalaladingdong’s suppression of free speech as she shouted down protesters of her own party...
it wasn’t a show of strength on her part, but of desperation. she had no answer for them, just shut up and listen.
but sure SK, your fashion faus paux will get me to vote for kamalalalaladingdong.
Dan Bongino is excellent! Meanwhile, Stephen King is every bit as evil as the characters he writes about.
Sounds like Mr. King is hitting the cocaine hard again.
You realize that nearly all of his stories end with people being enslaved or dead right?
That is his dream.
Monsters come and destroy all the humans he disapproves of, which is pretty much all humans.
Listen to people when they tell you what they are and believe them.
Did he promise to quit writing?
Alex,
I’ll take “Things that never happened” for $1000
