With the 2024 presidential election now less than a year away, polls are showing President Biden trailing Trump in the majority of swing states and approval ratings circling the drain, the Biden campaign is looking for fresh ways to gaslight potential voters.
Considering another TikTok-related story a couple of days ago, this report comes right on cue:
📱SCOOP by @axios @AlexThomp & @SophiaCai99@joebiden campaign is privately debating whether to join @tiktok_us to reach more young voters, despite data-privacy fears
— Mike Allen (@mikeallen) November 17, 2023
• His campaign has been drafting off big influencers w/o getting its own account

SCOOP: Biden's re-election campaign is considering a jump onto TikTok at a time when polls suggest the president needs to boost his appeal to voters under 30 — a group that typically favors Democrats by significant margins. https://t.co/BhfCemhCuc
— Axios (@axios) November 17, 2023
Is the timing of this news accidental or intentional on the part of the Biden campaign? After all, it was just this week that TikTok was shown to be a great tool when it comes to rehabbing an image in the eyes of some younger people:
Two days ago: Young people on TikTok are proudly spreading Osama Bin Laden’s infamous “Letter to America” that blames America for 9/11 and calls for the destruction of Israel.

Today: Biden campaign is considering joining TikTok to “reach more young voters.” pic.twitter.com/OtyrBR8vJw
Perhaps the Biden campaign figured that if TikTok could be used to convince some younger voters that Osama Bin Laden was a good guy then maybe those same people can be fooled into believing "Bidenomics" brought about a great economy.

But desperate political times call for desperate political measures.

So of course the administration that gave Iran billions of dollars on 9/11 can’t wait to join https://t.co/mdGJ3QJvBl

The Biden campaign would have to spin something, however:
"Look, I tried to SAVE Osama bin Laden."
