Can TikTok help lead the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign to victory in the United States presidential election the way Twitter, now X, was believed to have helped Donald Trump in 2016?<\/a> Is Harris\u2019s so-called brat summer<\/a> enough to sustain her momentum into four more years of a Democratic-led America?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With under 100 days left to election day in November, Harris\u2019s campaign has quickly taken flight, raising a record-breaking $81 million<\/a> in just the first day of her candidacy and $310 million in the month of July alone<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Democrats also have an unexpected supporter in singer and songwriter Charli XCX, who fuelled youth excitement with her tweet \u201ckamala IS brat.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
