What’s behind the anti-Biden ‘wildfire’ among TikTok influencers

Trump content is generating about 500 million views a month on the site, compared with more than 300 million for Biden posts, as of late May.

And Trump videos are much more likely to be posted by allies than Biden videos, according to CredoIQ data.

That adds to a similar advantage Trump has on Facebook, which reaches an older audience.

Conservatives produced more than 70,000 posts about Biden in the first half of this year, compared with about 18,000 posts about Biden from liberals

The Facebook advantage is not new. Trump has been mining the platform since 2016, when he took advantage of the site’s propensity to elevate content that elicits outrage and anger.
