President Joe Biden‘s campaign has launched its own account on Truth Social, the social media platform owned by former President Donald Trump.
The account, Biden-Harris HQ, made its first post early Monday afternoon. On X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, Biden-Harris HQ stated that it set up the account on Truth Social “mostly because we thought it would be very funny.

Trump and Biden could end up competing against each other again in the 2024 presidential election. Both candidates are currently the lead candidates in the primary races for the respective parties.
While most Democrats have largely ignored Truth Social, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) started his own account on it last year. The governor said he was starting the account to call out “Republican lies.”
I just joined Trump’s Truth Social.
Going to be on there calling out Republican lies. This could get…interesting.
