DNC Hires Kamala Harris's Social Media Team to Combat Misinformation from Trump Administration

Jan 13, 2025, 02:50 PM

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has hired former social media staffers from Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, previously behind the @KamalaHQ account, to launch a new rapid response initiative called 'FactPostNews'. This team aims to combat what they perceive as misinformation from the incoming Trump administration in real time. The initiative will initially focus on building a presence across platforms like X, Threads, and Bluesky, with plans to expand to other social media networks. The DNC's strategy includes countering narratives around Trump's cabinet nominees, particularly by highlighting their personal wealth, as part of their broader effort to challenge the administration's actions and policies.
