Merrick Hanna, a TikTok star with millions of followers, faced challenges blending entertainment with political content at the DNC, focusing on engaging rather than political messages.
Attending the DNC was daunting for Merrick Hanna, who had never discussed politics online, but his grandmother inspired him by sharing her memorable volunteer experience in 1960.
With the Democratic Party aiming to engage younger voters, Hanna's presence at the DNC highlights their strategy to tap into the influence of digital creators on platforms like TikTok.
Despite the potential for new outreach, many content creators, including Hanna, prefer to avoid direct political messages, focusing instead on entertainment to maintain their audience.
