White House Conference Strategizing with Social Media Influencers Ahead of TikTok Ban
President Biden’s Debate Performance
President Joe Biden delivered a performance in Thursday’s debate with Donald Trump that was so bad that even his staunchest allies are calling on the president to drop out of the race. But if Biden holds on until the November election, as he seems to be planning, he’ll need a lot of help to convince young people that he can still do the job. And online influencers could be just the ticket.
White House Digital Strategy
He spoke with Christian Tom, director of the White House Digital Strategy Office, on Friday, who explained that the White House has plans to organize a new conference in August with internet personalities. It’s important to note that the event will be hosted by the White House, not the Joe Biden campaign, but it’s still an opportunity to let the president speak about issues that interest young people.
Biden’s Challenges and Need for Support
The president is struggling to energize his base, with the latest polls from this week showing Biden and Trump still tied nationally. And his performance last night in the debate in Atlanta likely didn’t win him any votes. While it remains to be seen if Biden can recover, it’s obviously important to remember what will happen if he fails to beat Trump.
