Democrats are hiring influencers to fix their Latino voter problem

Original version ·

Turns out, campaign flyers and TV ads don't quite hit the same as a viral dance challenge.

Democrats are realizing that nobody actually watches cable news anymore, especially when trying to reach Latino voters who have been feeling pretty lukewarm about both major parties lately. Instead of doubling down on traditional stump speeches, the strategy is shifting toward paying content creators to be the face of the party.

It is a desperate pivot to stay relevant in a digital landscape where a thirty-second clip from a random creator carries more weight than a glossy political mailer. Apparently, the plan is to bridge the massive disconnect by sliding into the feeds of people who have already tuned out the usual political noise.

Paying people to be authentic is definitely a choice for a political party struggling to define its own identity.
