As she continues to lead in the polls over failed former president/convicted felon Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris is also killing it on social media, seeing her online engagement skyrocket so much that Axios noted in an article the Harris campaign has reached a point of “dominance” in the online realm.
By the numbers: The @KamalaHarris TikTok account gained 2 million followers in the first 24 hours since she became the presidential nominee and now has over 4.8 million.
The first six TikTok videos had more than 113 million views combined as of earlier this month.
The @KamalaHQ account, which was rebranded from Biden HQ, has grown its following from 440K followers to over 3.9 million followers.
Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign is stuck with his posts being seen on his ever-contracting Truth Social platform, which are later reposted on Twitter, but to a much smaller audience than ever.
Is Trump worried that he’s losing the online battle with Harris? Oh yes! Very worried, and he proved it today with an all-caps rant in response to the Axios article.
“IT’S ALWAYS FAKE WITH KAMALA. WE’RE DOMINATING HER ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SO SHE MAKES UP A FAKE LIST OF HER NUMBERS VERSUS MY NUMBERS. ALL OF OUR ENGAGEMENT IS REAL AND ORGANIC, WHILE KAMALA HAS TO PAY FOR HER FAKE ENGAGEMENT. WE’RE BEATING HER ‘LIKE A DRUM’, LIKE WE WILL BEAT HER ON NOVEMBER 5TH. IT’S ALL FAKE, IT’S ALL MISINFORMATION AND DISINFORMATION. WE ARE DESTROYING THE DEMOCRATS ON SOCIAL MEDIA!”
Trump knows he’s losing, and it terrifies him. He knows that losing the election means he will be found guilty of multiple federal charges and sent to prison for a very long time.
Others on social media were delighted by Trump’s palpable fear, and they let him know it.
