"While accepting the presidential nomination at last week's Democratic National Convention, Kamala Harris gave a speech light on specifics yet energized with passion, cementing her status as the 'just vibes' candidate of this election cycle."
"The Democratic Party offered credentials to more than 200 influencers and 'content creators' operating across the most dominant digital platforms... Journalists and influencers were both subject to passes with varying tiers of access and had to fight to claim the scarce seating allotted to press."
"The current moment of media transition, and whom it will favor, was made pretty clear throughout: Democrats, the party that prided itself on supporting institutions and norms of accountability during the Trump years, are embracing this video-centric moment."
"At least five influencers earned chances to address the audience on issues like reproductive rights and climate change, while uncommitted delegates were refused a speaking slot, reflecting a shift towards influencer culture in politics."
