There is no doubting President Biden’s reelection struggles. His approval numbers have never been good. But recent polling suggests that he is losing major groups. Voter blocs that typically side with Democrats are breaking away, thanks to the president.
Other surveys show the man is underwater in states he won in 2020. That’s big trouble for Democrats, who are determined to deny Trump a second term.
Now, it looks like they are getting desperate. Signs indicate that young progressive voters have turned on Joe over the Israel-Hamas war. So, his campaign has come up with a new plan to reach young voters. Even though it involves an app he has already banned.
From Fox News:
President Biden’s new campaign account garnered more than 67,000 TikTok followers in the first day since joining the Chinese-owned app he banned over national security concerns…Biden’s reelection campaign on Monday defended its new TikTok account as a vital way to boost its appeal with young voters, even as his administration continued to raise security concerns about whether the popular social media app might be sharing user data with China’s communist government.
Donald Trump took steps to confront TikTok, over the fact its owned by a Communist China-connected company. The Biden administration also voiced concerns and banned it from use by White House officials.
Some state governments and federal agencies also banned the app from official devices, over concerns China is using it to monitor Americans.
Yet Biden’s campaign, desperate to win young voters, created an account for the president on the infamous app. But it doesn’t appear that his first TikTok post went over well. A quick survey of the top comments reveals few users are happy with Joe.
These aren’t conservatives calling out Biden’s failures in office, but people attacking Biden over his support of Israel. It is unclear if these are progressive Americans or users from other countries. Regardless, TikTok is unlikely to be Joe’s Ace-in-the-Hole to win over young voters.
Biden is over 80 years old and has little in common with Generation Z. Attempts by him or his campaign to appear relevant to this young voter bloc have come off as cringe-worthy and pathetic. When you consider how many young progressives hold to anti-Israel views, it is a longshot Biden can win many of them back.
Key Takeaways:
- Joe Biden’s campaign created a TikTok account for him.
- The Biden administration banned the app on official devices, over security concerns.
- Many users on the app blasted Biden in the comments section, over his continued support for Israel.
