TikTok just got a little more interesting — and political.
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris just joined the ByteDance-owned app, the fourth most popular social media platform next to Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. The 2024 presidential nominee has over 2.3 million likes on her introductory video.
In the clip, Harris is asked, “Madam Vice President, are you on TikTok?" In response, Harris said, “Well, I’ve heard that recently I’ve been on the ‘For You’ page, so I thought I’d get on here myself.”
Harris’ account is also tagged with a quote saying “When we fight, we win” — a nod to one of her campaign slogans.
Go to TikTok.com or open the TikTok app.
Click on the “Search” icon (it looks like a magnifying glass).
Search "Kamala Harris."
Select the account labeled “kamalaharris” that has a blue verified checkbox next to it.
This account is separate from her campaign account, @KamalHQ, which was originally a campaign account for U.S. President Joe Biden. After Kamala joined the race, the account more than doubled in followers to 1.9 million.
