VIDEO: Democratic Party’s plan to recruit thousands of influencers maybe backfiring: ‘Trying to make Kamala cool’

From the New York Post: The Democratic Party invited 200 social media influencers to their national convention in Chicago this week.

Those attending get to pose for selfies with bigwigs such as Barack Obama, enjoy cocktail receptions with the likes of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and some will even speak on the main stage.

Social media has become a key battleground to win crucial votes at the November presidential election for both the Democratic and Republican Parties.

Kamala Harris’ campaign is looking to marshal some 5,000 online influencers by then, sources with knowledge of the efforts told The Post.

The report quotes Blair Imani Ali, creator of the Smarter in Seconds video series, as saying, “Consider the amount of followers even one content creator has. Elections have been won or lost by that number of people — we can help move that margin.”

“They know we can reach young people and reach them in a more down to earth way so we are firing on all cylinders,” she added.

The report notes that Trump is way ahead of Harris when comparing numbers of followers on social media:

Trump has 90 million followers on X compared to Kamala’s 21 million, 10.4 million on TikTok compared to Harris’ 4.6 million, and 26 million on Instagram compared to Harris’ 17.6 million – making him much less reliant on influencers.

Trump Campaign Senior Advisor Danielle Alvarez said, “Everything about Trump is authentic and organic whereas people are trying to make Kamala cool because she is not capable of doing it herself.”


Some social media influencers aren’t so impressed. Lauren Mochen posted a video recently explaining that she received an email offering to pay her to make a promotional video for Kamala Harris.

She said the email told her she need to sign an NDA in order to get started.

Mochen said that some people establish their views and opinions based off what their favorite influencer is saying, and warned that those influencers are being paid to push the Democrat agenda.

Another video shows an influencer standing outside the DNC wearing Trump gear and handing out Trump bumper stickers, as he exposes the bribery scheme the Harris campaign has launched.

WATCH:

Trump supporter Bo Loudon from Florida, who is friends with Barron Trump, said in a recent interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham that influencers come to Trump rallies because they like him and want to meet him… but Kamala Harris is literally having to pay influencers to attend her rallies and promote her campaign.

“She’s paying these people to twerk at her rallies… while Trump is a man of the people… he doesn’t need to pay celebrities to come support him. They want to support him because they know they’re on the right side,” Loudon said.
