'Take over with 0 followers' is not the policy of the Biden camp, but the Twitter side decided. 'In 2016, Trump took over all the followers that President Obama had collected at @POTUS and @WhiteHouse (the official White House account),' said Rob Fraherty, director of digital at the Biden camp. In 2020, Twitter has informed us that the Biden administration must start from scratch. '

This measure is not only for the president's account '@POTUS', but also for the Vice President ' @VP ', the First Lady (Mrs. President) ' @FLOTUS ', the White House Press Secretary ' @PressSec ', and the latest information on the administration. ' @Cabinet ' and the Spanish version of the White House official account ' @LaCasaBlanca ' are also targeted.

When Mr. Trump took office, all the tweets in the '@POTUS' account were erased, but the 11 million followers remained unchanged. Mr. Obama's previous job's tweet has been moved to ' @ POTUS44 ', which indicates the 44th president.

According to Twitter, President Trump's account has been renamed to '@ POTUS45', giving followers the option to follow the new administration's account, @POTUS.
