Contributing sentiments towards policy:

75% : "The success of Harris's digital campaign has irked Trump, who has insisted on his Truth Social app that he has "the greatest social media program in history".
42% : Harris's TikTok strategy is "aspirational for any brand, let alone a politician", where Trump's feels "less native" to TikTok and closer to traditional campaign material, according to Cohen.
42% : Bruesewitz added that the campaign had been "leveraging Trump as a person", for example "through funny TikTok meetups with some of the biggest influencers in the world".
20% : With Trump and Harris running neck and neck as campaigning is in its final stretch, it is unclear whether the candidates' TikTok followings will give them an edge at the ballot box.
16% : Some posts mock Trump for being "weird" and "out of it", or feature clips of Democrats "dragging" or "clapping back" at his policies.
