Joe Biden Campaign Joins Truth Social, Let The Ratio Begin!

The Joe Biden campaign will launch an account on Truth Social, according to Fox News Digital.

Biden’s campaign team claims Republican in-fighting to elect a House Speaker candidate suggests they can pull support from President Trump’s social media platform.

“Republicans can’t even agree on a Speaker of the House, so clearly, not every Republican thinks the same,” one Biden campaign official told the outlet.

Per Fox News:

Biden campaign officials say they are “injecting our message” into GOP primary coverage and plan to combat “mis and disinformation” about President Biden that may appear on the social media platform.

“There’s very little ‘truth’ happening on TruthSocial, but at least now it’ll be a little fun,” a senior Biden campaign aide told Fox News Digital on Monday.

The Biden campaign’s handle is expected to be @BidenHQ. Campaign officials said their first post is expected to publish later Monday.

“Well. Let’s see how this goes. Converts welcome!” The campaign’s first post is expected to read.

It appears Joe Biden’s account is live on Truth Social.

Via The Hill:

The campaign followed up with another post that featured a video clip of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) criticizing Trump’s record on the national debt.

“A thing about campaigns is sometimes you just do things for the lolz,” Rob Flaherty, a deputy Biden campaign manager, wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, of the decision to join Truth Social.

Fox News first reported that the Biden campaign would join Truth Social, which Trump founded in 2021 and launched in 2022 after he was suspended from what was then Twitter and other major social media platforms following the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol.

Trump has since posted almost exclusively on Truth Social. He has more than 6 million followers on the platform, which is a fraction of the roughly 87 million he has on X.
