Warning messages: about geom_line and In geom_point(size = 2)

I am trying to create a ggplot using this code.

df <- read.csv("2019.csv", header = TRUE, sep = "," )
head(data)
ggplot(data = df, aes(x = 'GDP.per.capita', y = 'Social.support')) +
  geom_line(color = "red", size = 1) +       
  geom_point(size = 2)

but on the console i'm getting a warning message

1: In geom_line(color = "red", size = 1) :
  All aesthetics have length 1, but the data has 156 rows.
ℹ Please consider using `annotate()` or provide this layer with data containing a single
  row.
2: In geom_point(size = 2) :
  All aesthetics have length 1, but the data has 156 rows.
ℹ Please consider using `annotate()` or provide this layer with data containing a single
  row.

Went to YT but everyone was doing the same thing I'm doing. they are not getting any message but I'm getting this message.

You shouldn't put your variables to be plotted in quotation marks.

This works fine:

ggplot(data = mtcars, aes(x = mpg, y = hp)) + geom_point()

This gives a warning like the one you're seeing (and a plot that is junk):

ggplot(data = mtcars, aes(x = 'mpg', y = 'hp')) + geom_point()

Warning message: In geom_point() : All aesthetics have length 1, but the data has 32 rows. ℹ Please consider using annotate() or provide this layer with data containing a single row.
