Despite the widespread attention the claim received online, the original X post lacked credible sources to confirm that Sydney Sweeney had actually made such a statement. Furthermore, no reputable news outlets reported on the alleged claim, raising questions about its validity.

Several social media users also pointed out that there was no reliable evidence to support the assertion that Sweeney publicly expressed her political views or voting choices.

Stop using Sydney for political issues, get a life. #Election2024."
