Vice President Kamala Harris is now the proud owner of a TikTok account.
The presumptive Democratic nominee for president joined the app on Thursday, where Harris-themed memes about coconut trees and “Brat summer” have been viral for weeks. Within hours, her account amassed 1.3 million followers.
“I heard that recently I’ve been on the For You page, so I thought I’d get on here myself,” Harris says in her first post, which has 1.9 million likes, more than 71,000 comments and upwards of 69,000 bookmarks.
