In response, Harris said, 'I've been hearing a lot about me on TikTok's For You page lately, so I thought it was about time I joined,' announcing the launch of her TikTok account.
About 50 minutes after the first post, Harris' TikTok account had gained more than 149,000 followers and had been viewed more than 500,000 times. At the time of writing, Harris' TikTok account had 672,400 followers.
Harris' deputy campaign manager, Rob Flaherty, told People, 'Our job is to cut through the noise and reach voters at all times. TikTok is one of the platforms where we can do that and we're leaving no stone unturned.' 'Putting Harris on TikTok means she can engage directly with voters in an authentic and authentic way.'

These efforts have been successful, and a Reuters poll has revealed that Harris has a higher approval rating than her rival, former President Donald Trump. The survey showed that Harris' approval rating was 44%, while Trump's was 42%, giving Harris a slight lead, and that 56% of voters said they 'can clearly address issues,' compared to 49% for Trump.
On the other hand, there has been a surge in doctored images, sexist slander, and racist posts targeting Harris on the Internet. 'These are professional, coordinated influence operations, in some cases backed by foreign adversaries, and in some cases generated by individuals with bad intentions,' said Ronald DeBird of the University of Toronto.
