The Kamala Harris and Tim Walz presidential campaign is gaining momentum, with their merchandise already drawing significant attention and sales. However, some fans of pop music have noticed similarities between the campaign’s merchandise and that of rising pop star Chappell Roan.
Specifically, a camouflage trucker cap from the Harris-Walz campaign, featuring orange lettering, bears a resemblance to a similar cap from Roan’s merchandise for her album *The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess*.
Chappell Roan’s fans quickly pointed out the resemblance on social media, with one fan bringing it to Roan’s attention on X (formerly Twitter). The cap in question from Roan’s collection also features a camouflage design with orange lettering, reading “Midwest Princess.” Roan’s surprised response, “is this real?” highlights the unexpected similarity between the two items, though it may simply be a coincidence.

Despite the resemblance, it is not entirely surprising that Roan’s influence has reached prominent figures like Harris and Walz. Roan, known for her hit “Red Wine Supernova,” has been gaining recognition, with her name often linked to the phrase “your favorite artist’s favorite artist” in search results.
This suggests her growing impact on popular culture, which might have inadvertently influenced the Harris-Walz campaign’s merchandise design.
The Harris-Walz camouflage trucker cap has proven to be a hot item, reportedly selling out within half an hour of its release, according to the Washington Post. This rapid sellout demonstrates the strong support and enthusiasm surrounding the Harris-Walz campaign, as well as the potential influence of pop culture trends on political campaigns.
Meanwhile, Chappell Roan continues to make waves in the music industry, recently drawing a massive crowd at Lollapalooza, possibly the largest audience for a daytime show in the festival’s history. As Harris and Walz continue their campaign efforts, including upcoming stops in Wisconsin and Michigan, both the political and pop culture worlds are watching closely to see how these parallel successes unfold.
