In a surprising twist, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has joined TikTok and already amassed an impressive 3 million followers within just 24 hours!
Trump launched his TikTok journey on June 1 with a high-energy video from an Ultimate Fighting Championship fight in Newark, New Jersey. The clip, posted on his @realdonaldtrump account, quickly went viral, racking up over 56 million views.
\"I will use every tool available to speak directly with the American people,\" Trump declared in his debut post, signaling his intent to connect with a younger, digitally-savvy audience as he gears up for his third presidential run.
This strategic move comes as the race heats up with incumbent Joe Biden also active on TikTok, boasting over 340,000 followers. However, Biden has backed a bill that seeks to ban the app if its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, doesn't divest.
Trump isn't new to the social media game. He already has a massive following with over 87 million on X and more than 7 million on his own platform, Truth Social, where he shares updates almost daily.
As the November 5 election approaches, Trump's TikTok presence could be a game-changer in appealing to younger voters and shaping the digital landscape of the campaign. Stay tuned!
