Progressive content creators gear up for Kamala Harris
Harry Sisson’s phone would not stop buzzing Sunday.
Harry Sisson’s phone would not stop buzzing Sunday.
Sisson, one of the most-followed and most-prolific content creators promoting President Joe Biden for a second term, was getting inundated with text messages from friends asking how they could help get Vice President Kamala Harris elected.
It was a stark change from what many on the left who are in the digital trenches had seen in recent months.
“I think a lot of people felt kind of down, you know, surrounding the Democratic Party and our prospect, and I think what I’m just seeing is this injection of energy right now,” Sisson, 21, said. “Everybody is hyped up. They’re excited. They want to be involved.”
Biden’s announcement Sunday that he would be ending his presidential campaign and endorsing Harris sent an immediate shockwave throughout the race, felt perhaps most immediately by the people who have been contending with an enthusiasm gap that was most apparent online, where fans of former President Donald Trump have appeared to have an advantage.
