Incoming first lady Melania Trump will take over the @FLOTUS Twitter account from Michelle Obama after the inauguration.
“Once President-elect Trump is sworn in, incoming First Lady Melania Trump will tweet from @FLOTUS,” a spokeswoman for Trump told Vanity Fair. “She is thankful for Mrs. Obama and all of her followers and looks forward to connecting with them, while welcoming new followers and speaking directly with the American people through social media.”
The @FLOTUS account has more than 6.5 million followers, while Trump’s personal account has fewer than 1 million.
The incoming president, however, plans to keep his personal Twitter account once he moves into the White House.
In a recent interview with the Times of London, President-elect Trump said his massive online presence will be a valuable tool when combating media bias.
Trump has 20 million followers on Twitter, and often uses the platform to send off fiery tweets against his critics.
