Dem PAC Drops $1M On Chinese TikTok App 'Influencers' To Aid Biden.

 Priorities USA, a Democrat-aligned SuperPAC supporting Joe Biden's presidential re-election campaign, is dropping $1 million on social media influencers to increase the 81-year-old President's standing among youth voters.

The SuperPAC is pushing content creators and influencers to post on Instagram and the Chinese-owned TikTok app to shore up support among Zoomer and younger Millennial voters.

Priorities USA is paying these influencers to encourage thousands of followers to register to vote and support progressive candidates.

The Democrat SuperPAC has pledged $1 million to the effort and claims they've recruited 150 social media influencers to push pro-Biden messaging.

The Biden campaign's embrace of TikTok raises national security questions.

TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, spent over $7 million in 2023 to influence U.S. lawmakers to oppose efforts to ban the app entirely.

"We look forward to working with TikTok throughout the cycle," Jack Doyle, a spokesman for Priorities USA said when asked about the SuperPAC's influencer campaign.
