It looks like Vivek Ramaswamy is trying to findthe formula for TikTok fame.
For the pharmaceutical millionaire, it looks like social media is his next campaign tactic.
Ramaswamy’s account on TikTok was a topic of discussion at the second GOP presidential debate.
As of February 2023, TikTok has been banned on mobile devices belonging to government employees.
In the past decade, politicians being active on social media has become commonplace.
Just take former President Donald Trump and hiscomplicated relationship with Twitter.
His tweets, which made for some meme-worthy moments, were even hallmarked as evidence in his federal indictments.
At the second Republican presidential debate, he was questioned about his controversial choice to join TikTok.
“We need to win elections.
Part of how we win elections is reaching the next generation of young Americans where they are.”
The presidential hopeful has taken his untraditional campaign method to new heights by partnering with influencer Jake Paul.
Just weeks later, he made an account on the platform.
Since this realization and Jake Paul’s persuasion Ramaswamy has been quite active on TikTok.
Despite attempts to connect with Gen-Z and millennials, Ramaswamy has been highly criticized by his running mates.
Fellow Republican candidate Nikki Haley condemned his support of the app.
The app has faced constant backlash from both Republican and Democratic politicians, as a potential ban looms.
Due to these issues, American companies such as Microsoft and evenWalmart have tried to buy TikTok.
