Additionally, they are refusing money.
Just now, Lauren Mochen, another influencer, came up and said that the Harris campaign was trying to bribe her to say positive things about Harris and the Democrats. She stated that they would send her an NDA to sign before they could collaborate, effectively preventing her from disclosing any background information or acknowledging that she was receiving payment for her remarks.
The story of paying for support is as ancient as time, but Mochen raised an alarm for many of the younger generations who, as she points out, obtain their news and opinions from the influencers they follow.
According to Mochen, “I know a lot of people base their attitudes, beliefs, and points of view on what their favorite influencers say.” “Remember that they may have received payment for the statements they are making.”
Mochen is right. The majority of Americans don’t follow politics at all, and the majority of the news they consume—particularly political news—comes from unaffiliated sources like influencers, fashion magazines, tabloids that specialize in celebrity rumors, and more. Understanding this, the Democratic Party is making an effort to use the vast network of online influencers—which has previously operated through celebrities or well-known activists—to persuade people to support them.
There are a plethora of influencers in the modern world available for the Harris campaign, but it seems that not all of them are accepting her offer.
The Harris team has reached out to well-known streamers, such as Kai Cenat on Twitch, who publicly declined them live, as I reported last week. Harris’ appearance is not ideal, given Cenat’s appeal to younger audiences.
Republican Jake Hoffman of Arizona received an email from an agency representing another influencer. The organization promised to compensate the influencer for writing a series of blogs outlining “what programs you support” and “what you appreciate about the Biden-Harris Administration.”
As Mochen pointed out, you’ll probably see a lot of influencers praising Harris and coming out in favor of her campaign. However, if these influencers are sufficiently well-known, it’s likely that they received payment for their endorsements, making the post inaccurate. As I stated last week, it appears that even in Hollywood, people’s desire to become involved in politics is waning, and those who do seem to be rehashing the same old themes that the media does.
By now, it should be very obvious that the only two things keeping the Harris campaign afloat are money and fakery.
