The DNC Held A TikTok ‘Training Session’ For Kamala Harris Fans. Here’s What They Said.

In the Zoom chat, people talked about “brat summer” and “hotties for Harris.”

Meanwhile, the host for Tuesday’s virtual event, Matthew Rein, offered tips and tricks to Kamala Harris supporters on how to post TikToks to support the Democratic presidential nominee.

During the “Organizing on TikTok: Training Session,” Rein, who does social media analysis for the Democratic National Committee, admitted that one of the Democrats’ main challenges on TikTok is former president Donald Trump’s massive following.

“Really our other challenge is that Donald Trump has a very large following on this platform. He has 10 million followers. Does that mean that he is running his TikTok well? No. But he does have a very large reach on the platform,” he said.

As of May, there were twice as many pro-Trump videos as pro-Biden videos on the platform, a slide from the presentation said.

Even with Harris bumped to the top of the ticket, “it’s still the case that there are a lot of Trump supporters on this app. There are low information voters with low engagement,” Rein said.

Another issue is “right wing actors who are purposely spreading disinformation about Kamala Harris, about Tim Walz now, about Democrats generally,” he continued. “They spread some pretty horrific lies and propaganda, and TikTok isn’t necessarily always the fastest at getting this down.”

“But thankfully we also have some tremendous opportunities. We have opportunities to set narratives,” the host added.

Harris supporters should also “amplify negative content” and “react to how extreme and weird and bizarre Donald Trump and JD Vance are and MAGA in general,” Rein said.

The training offered several examples of pro-Democrat TikToks, including one mocking an Arizona Republican for blaming President Biden for inflation while “on the bill it didn’t include actual grocery items.”

At one point in the presentation, the hosts compared a TikTok from the Make America Great Again super PAC to one of the DNC’s TikToks.

“Guys, President Biden just dragged Donald Trump,” a woman in the DNC’s post says, followed by a clip of Biden saying, “Donald Trump still thinks windmills cause cancer! That’s what he said! By the way, remember when he was trying to deal with COVID he said just inject a little bleach in your veins. He missed. It all went to his hair.”

“Dark Brandon strikes again,” the woman says.

That video “drives our narrative” of Biden “being able to be up there, to give a speech, and to be humorous,” Rein said.

All the while the Zoom chat was hopping, with one person saying they were already on TikTok as “woke grandpa.” Another said their first TikTok would be, “Why should an old white upper middle class dude like me vote for Harris-Walz?”

Another TikTok highlighted during the presentation featured Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, who reacted to a TikToker saying he would add Harris to a group chat. 

“Can I get in on this group chat too?” Emhoff quipped in the video.

Yet another video example involved asking why Trump has “never talked about” Project 2025.

“This is prior to Trump denying his involvement with Project 2025,” Rein said.

The training also urged supporters to be “engaging” and “a little snappy” with their posts.

“If you start your video and you’re just like, ‘well, and today Kamala Harris did this rally,’ no one cares about it, right? No one’s going to care,” Rein said.

RFK Jr., After Calling Biden-Harris A ‘Threat To Democracy,’ Asks Kamala For Cabinet Position

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a lifelong Democrat, has reportedly sought to join a potential Kamala Harris presidential administration as a Cabinet secretary in exchange for throwing his support behind her campaign.

Kennedy, whose campaign as an independent has cratered after registering some interest at the start of the primary season, said earlier this year that the Biden-Harris administration was a “much worse threat to democracy” than Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

He noted that the Biden-Harris administration was the first in history to weaponize federal agencies against their opponents.

“We’ve reached out repeatedly through the highest level intermediaries,” RFK told The New York Times in a text message. “We’ve been told that they have no interest in talking with me.”

It is highly unlikely that Harris would engage with RFK because he helps her by staying in the race, the report said, noting that public and private polling has shown that as he ramped up his attacks on Biden as he began to siphon away support from Trump.

The report said that Harris “does better” in polls when Kennedy is included than when she is tested in a head-to-head matchup with Trump.

“Public and private polling has found that as he spent the summer attacking President Biden, he began to draw more support from voters otherwise predisposed to back former President Donald J. Trump. Now Ms. Harris does better in some surveys when Mr. Kennedy is included than when she is tested in a head-to-head matchup with Mr. Trump.”

“I’ve always argued that we should be willing to talk with each other across party lines,” he added. “I’m willing to meet with leaders of both parties to discuss the possibility of a unity government.”

Kennedy holds far-Left views on a variety of issues, including wanting to allow abortions up until the moment of birth. He wants to jail climate change skeptics, has said that he would sign a bill to ban semi-automatic firearms, and has vowed to cut funding to the U.S. military by half while China rapidly expands its military.
