I think it’s incredibly significant that the announcement came on twitter a network run by a prominent trump supporter. You have to wonder how that all went down for the administration to have to resort to that opinion.

For many hours it seemed like the announcement might have actually been a hoax because of how unofficial seeming the announcement was. I really want to read on how this all went down.




Biden’s account is from 2007 and has over 38 million followers. There’s nothing strange about the way it was announced.


Why didn’t they announce at a scheduled time on a friendly network? Like there has to be an interesting story here, it would make a good or tv show.


It sounds you actively want to read too much into it and find some conspiracy.

Announcing a scheduled time would be as silly as your question. As soon as they scheduled it, it would leak and they would lose control of the narrative.

I don’t know if you noticed this, but the internet is kind of a big deal and politicians have been using social media as part of their campaign and communications for a while.
