Verdict: Unsubstantiated
There is no public statement or verified report confirming that Sweeney has declared a vote for Trump or any other political candidate. This speculation stems from a 2022 family gathering for her mother’s birthday, where guests wore hats similar to “Make America Great Again” caps.
Fact Check:
Former President Donald Trump defeated incumbent Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election Nov. 5. A number of high-profile celebrities endorsed the former president during his run, including podcast host Joe Rogan and X CEO Elon Musk, Deadline reported.
The X post claims Sweeney voted for Trump the day of the election. “Sydney Sweeney says she voted for Donald Trump,” the post’s caption reads.
The rumor appears to have started on social media after Sweeney posted images from a family gathering themed around her mother’s 60th birthday. Some of her guests wore hats that read “Make Sixty Great Again” in a style similar to the MAGA slogan associated with former President Donald Trump. Sweeney quickly clarified on X that the event was not political in nature and asked people to stop making assumptions. “An innocent celebration for my mom’s milestone 60th birthday has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention,” she stated.
Sweeney has generally kept her political views private and has not confirmed her support for any candidate. In an interview with CheatSheet, she mentioned that she does not enjoy discussing politics publicly and prefers to keep her beliefs personal. The actress has also spoken out in favor of reproductive rights, aligning with broader discussions on autonomy, but without endorsing any specific political party
