Want to know why the phrase ‘Is Sydney Sweeney a Registered Republican?’ is trending? As her new denim ad campaign stirs backlash online, new information has emerged around her political affiliation. With claims circulating that the Euphoria star is registered as a Republican in Florida, social media users are wondering whether they are true.
Here’s why ‘Is Sydney Sweeney a registered Republican’ trending
According to a report by The Guardian, Sydney Sweeney registered as a Republican voter in Florida on June 14, 2024, just weeks after she purchased a property in the Florida Keys. Furthermore, the registration reportedly occurred a few months before Donald Trump won the presidency in the 2024 election.
The timing of Sweeney’s registration has also attracted attention. It came roughly two weeks after Trump was convicted in New York for falsifying business records. Though Sweeney has not commented publicly on her registration, the information quickly spread across social media over the weekend. One user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Sydney sweeney has fascists and nazis coming to her defense. of course she’s a republican.”
This comes amidst her new campaign for American Eagle. The denim brand released a series of promotional videos featuring Sweeney modeling jeans and jackets, with the tagline, “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.” The campaign has stirred controversy online, claiming themes associated with eugenics and white supremacist rhetoric. American Eagle responded on Friday with a public clarification. “’Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story,” the brand said.
This isn’t the first time the Euphoria star has faced backlash over her political leanings. In 2022, she was criticized after images surfaced from her mother’s birthday party, where some guests wore hats resembling Trump’s “Make America Great Again” merchandise. Sweeney responded on social media, insisting the gathering was non-political.
