From time immemorial, politicians have struggled with the problem of how to attract young voters. How does one get through to the increasingly jaded, too-cool-to-care, 18-24 demographic as a boring career politician? According to presidential hopeful Kamala Harris, the answer lies in Twitch.
That’s right: Vice president Kamala Harris is on Twitch, streaming from—you guessed it—the kamalaharris channel. “Streaming” is sort of applied loosely here, however, as this up-and-coming streamer hasn’t actually hopped on for her big debut yet. Harris’ channel looks like any of her other social account. Since launching just this morning, it’s accrued nearly 3,000 followers, but crucially has yet to stream. Will she be trying out Among Us like fellow prominent Democrat AOC? Maybe she’ll win over the hardcore gamer demographic by doing a Level 1 run in Elden Ring?
