After being declared “ Brat” by Charli XCX herself and her coconut tree quote getting the meme treatment for months , Vice President Kamala Harris officially joined TikTok . On Thursday, the presumptive Democratic nominee launched her account with a video that’s quickly racking up views and follows. “Madam Vice President, are you on TikTok?” asks a voice off-camera.
“Well, I’ve heard recently that I’ve been on the For You Page, so I thought I’d get on here myself,” Harris responds in the clip, which she captioned, “Thought it was about time to join!” Just 30 minutes after joining, Harris already had garnered 100,000 followers on the platform. Harris’ presidential campaign broke the news via People , and her team said that the vice president joining TikTok was her way of breaking “through the noise.” “Our job as a campaign is to break through the noise and make sure we’re talking to voters wherever they are — TikTok is one of those landscapes, and we’re leaving no stone unturned,” deputy campaign manager Rob Flaherty told the outlet.
“Getting the vice president up on TikTok means she’ll be able to directly engage with a key constituency in a way that’s true and authentic to the platform and the audience,” he added.

The viral quote, which hears her quoting her mother, goes “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.” Her campaign has also played into Charli XCX’s Brat summer by changing their X header to the chartreuse aesthetic of the British singer’s album.
