It's very awkward to watch Biden try to engage on TikTok: Roma Daravi
'Fox News @ Night' panelists Lee Carter and Roma Daravi discuss President Biden's campaign joining TikTok.
President Biden's new campaign account garnered more than 67,000 TikTok followers in the first day since joining the Chinese-owned app he banned over national security concerns.
The @bidenhq account's following had jumped even higher to nearly 82,000 followers as of Tuesday morning, with more than 681,300 likes.
That's still a far cry from Biden's 37.8 million followers on his campaign account on X, formerly Twitter.
"Lol hey guys," the first TikTok video on the account, published during the Super Bowl game Sunday, read in the caption. Biden, in khaki slacks and a navy sweater, stood with his hands in his pockets as he was asked a series of questions. Asked "Chiefs or Niners?," Biden responded, "Two great quarterbacks, hard to decide, but if I didn’t say I was for the Eagles, then I’d be sleeping alone. My wife’s a Philly girl." When challenged on if he preferred the game or commercials or the game or the halftime show, Biden responded game twice.
