Biden and Obama during a campaign rally in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania). Getty President Joe Biden knows that he is at stake in the mid-term elections held this Tuesday in the United States. Losing control of one or both chambers of Congress would complicate the rest of his term. The Democrat was optimistic and this Monday he affirmed that he trusts his party to maintain the majority in the Senate; yes, in the House of Representatives he sees it as “difficult”. That is why the Democrats, in an attempt to attract the young vote, have rolled out the red carpet for influencers. The 79-year-old US president received eight TikTok stars this week at the White House, including 67 million followers. As revealed by The Washington Post, they talked for an hour in the Oval Office. While Barack Obama, focused on this electoral campaign, has taken action. The former US president took to the popular social network with a series of videos with influencers to list the reasons why people should get out and vote. A video featuring artist and TikTok star Mona Swain had 1.7 million views in just three hours. Other videos have drawn criticism, particularly from Republicans. Like this one where former President Obama sits under a desk with the host, Vitus Spehar, and urges the TikTok star to go vote. They assure that it is a desperate attempt by the former president to help the Democrats win the elections, something that is very complicated for them. The polls indicate that in the House of Representatives, where the 435 seats are at stake, the Republicans have it easier, since they would take 216 seats, just two away from gaining control of the chamber, while the Democrats would win 199 seats. . A total of 20 seats remain to be decided. Almost all polls show Republicans as favorites to wrest control of the House from their Democratic rivals. When will the results be known? It will depend on the state. They are not likely to be known on election night, or even for several days. Trump has already cast doubt on future election results and has claimed the election is rigged.
