Joe Biden is as active on social media as
his age. All joking aside, I’m a big fan of Joe Biden to let that be known. Personally,
I think with age not on his side, the recent passing of his son Beau, and a
long run as VP, that Joe will not to commit to a 2016 presidential campaign. Otherwise
speaking, if Joe Biden decides to run hell be a really qualified candidate. Joe
Biden as I researched, has been super low key on Facebook and on Twitter that usually
gets updated monthly – by him…? I doubt it. Although, Joe Biden has not found
outlets through those in particular, he has found some spotlight via Instagram,
where he uploads numerous pictures of public speeches, gatherings, and such. He
has a good following/followers ratio, which is HUGE these days. Joe Biden also
has a bio page on whitehouse.gov and many others websites. Joe Biden as you can
see is old fashioned so having him pop up on viral videos is slim to none. With
that being said, hopefully to his knowledge Joe Biden is a hit when it comes to
funny memes or awkward moments pertaining to him.
For the 2016 campaign, Joe Biden should
try and connect with the younger generation. He has a good reputation and
credibility with the older the generation, which goes to show his success and
his current position as VP. As we know it, our generation holds the key for
political success, which drive each candidate to be more intuitive with
connecting with us. For Joe Biden to be more relevant on social media he could
do a number of things. One, he could enhance is presence through Snapchat.
Snapchat is one of my favorites because it incorporates live quick footage that
allows myself and I bet many others to see what’s going on and getting right to
the point. Some ideas for this could be, segments in the oval office, questions
and answers about issues or upcoming events for his campaign, and in doing so, will
connect, and draw followers that way. It goes a long way for none supporters
and those who are on the fence. Another outlet I purpose Joe Biden to have is
Facebook. It’s so standard yet allows some much views, repost, and comments back
that Joe Biden can use to better his campaign. Weather this is positive or
negative replies it viable to get that information and responses back and use
it to his benefit. If Joe Biden and his staff can create some continuity
amongst the young people and his campaign along with his experience, it could
really jump him in the polls.
Lastly, if and when Joe Biden decides to
run, he should first get going fast. With his focus on concluding strong in the
white house, hell have to really multi-task and be creative and sturdy in his
approach. He should encourage his own website along side other media outlets as
I mentioned. This is where Joe Biden can keep his voters and voters o nt he
fence with all his interaction during his run for presidency. This will allow a
clean organized approach that will accommodate the younger generation as well
as the old. As a millennial, having a social media presence is important, and candidates
trying to connect and build trust with us should consider it being a useful too
-- as it wasn’t before.
