vice president Kamala Harris is catching up… that is, she’s joining a social media app popular with younger voters.
Harris is now on TikTok… joining the platform on Thursday to continue building her momentum with Democrats, which has been obvious since President Biden dropped out of the race Sunday and endorsed her for president.
The current vice president’s first post on TikTok was brief and to the point, explaining why she created an official account: “Well, I heard I was recently on the For You page, so I thought I’d join here too.”
As of this writing, she’s been on the platform for just over an hour and has already garnered over 300,000 followers… with 349,000 likes.
Kamala’s TikTok bio reads… “When we fight, we win.”
As you know, she is on track to become the Democratic presidential candidate and is getting endorsements left and right of Democrats and prominent celebrities.
Now, she’s making a very strategic play to win over the Gen Z vote… a demographic that could be key to her presidential aspirations.
For his part, Donald Trump is already on TikTok — he joined in June, but knew he would be the Republican nominee long before Harris knew she was getting the nod for her party. Trump has 9.2 million followers and 23 million likes.
We’ll see who will ride the TikTok wave and make it to the White House in November!!!
