Obama takes to TikTok with 'painful' get-out-the-vote message
Obama urges people to register to vote because of climate change, gun control, abortion rights
By Chris Pandolfo | Fox NewsFormer President Barack Obama has officially joined the ranks of Democrats who are using TikTok personalities to promote their agenda.
In a last-minute get-out-the-vote effort, Obama was featured in a TikTok video with content creator Vitus Spehar on Monday. Spehar, who goes by "V," is the host of "Under The Desk News," a TikTok show that "offers 60 second daily wrap ups of current events, political analysis, and special interest stories ‘explained.'"
In his guest appearance "under the desk," Obama urged people to register to vote and support Democrats to enact new climate restrictions, gun control laws, and expand abortion rights.
"Here's the thing: you can stay [under my desk] for now, but when it comes time for voting you're going to have to get up," Obama said.
