Trump surpasses 10 million followers on TikTok amid push against Harris economy

By and 08/15/2024 | updated 1 year ago

Former President Donald Trump’s TikTok account has surpassed 10 million followers, a milestone he reached within the first three months of joining the social media platform.

The former president had initially been opposed to the app, but he created his own account in June, likely in a move to reach younger voters. At 10 million followers, Trump’s account is well ahead of the combined total of Vice President Kamala Harris’s personal TikTok account, which has 4.5 million followers, and her campaign’s account, which has 3.6 million. 

The latest video from Trump, uploaded on Wednesday, features the former president critiquing the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the economy, saying the “Kamala Harris price hike” has cost families in the country $28,000. Both Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), have made a push against Harris, the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential candidate, for the state of the economy and inflation under her watch.

“If you wanna bring the prices down, if you wanna have a good life, vote for Trump,” the former president said in his video.

As part of Trump’s bid to win the younger vote, he conducted a one-on-one discussion with billionaire Elon Musk, who hosted the call on X. Trump also appeared on the Impaulsive podcast in June to discuss a variety of topics with boxer and social media influencer Logan Paul.
