The Biden presidential campaign is now playing on its opponent's

00:00:03.019 --> 00:00:05.710
own turf. On Monday, the campaign created an

00:00:05.719 --> 00:00:08.868
account on Truth social, the social media platform founded

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:11.599
by Donald Trump saying on X that they thought it

00:00:11.609 --> 00:00:13.978
would be very funny to do so. According to

00:00:13.989 --> 00:00:16.429
C NBC, the platform promoted the account in an

00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.219
email to users. And as of Thursday morning at

00:00:19.228 --> 00:00:22.969
Biden HQ had about 5000 more followers than the account

00:00:22.978 --> 00:00:25.693
for the Trump campaign at Trump. Of course,

00:00:25.704 --> 00:00:29.065
Trump's personal account is still the platform's marquee attraction with

00:00:29.074 --> 00:00:32.514
about 6.5 million followers. Truth Social was launched in

00:00:32.524 --> 00:00:35.895
2022 after Trump was banned from more established platforms.

00:00:35.904 --> 00:00:38.033
In response to his role in the events of January

00:00:38.043 --> 00:00:40.764
6th. Those bans have largely been lifted by now

00:00:40.774 --> 00:00:42.875
, but Trump still seems to prefer using his own

00:00:42.884 --> 00:00:45.423
product. And as of now, his personal account

00:00:45.435 --> 00:00:48.634
is the only one followed by at Biden HQ.
