Actress Sydney Sweeney has been registered with the Republican Party since June 2024, according to voter-registration information reported by BuzzFeed. The disclosure aligns the 27-year-old "Euphoria" and "Anyone But You" star with former president Donald Trump’s party ahead of the 2026 midterm election cycle. News of Sweeney’s affiliation ignited a fresh round of partisan sparring on social media, where some progressive commentators criticized recent American Eagle advertisements featuring the actress, while conservative voices hailed her as an emerging cultural asset for the right. Vice President JD Vance, speaking on the "Ruthless" podcast, mocked what he called Democrats’ "unhinged" response to Sweeney’s ads and suggested the backlash underscores a broader disconnect between the party and mainstream culture.
