The Democratic National Committee has hired the social media staffer who ran the @KamalaHQ account during Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed presidential campaign, the organization announced Monday.
The social team will now focus on creating a new @FactPostNews brand for the Democratic Party on X, Threads and Bluesky, with plans to expand to Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. The account will seek to counter so-called “disinformation” from President-elect Trump’s administration in real time.
“The Republican disinformation machine is powerful, but we think a stronger weapon is giving people the facts about how Trump and his administration are screwing up the American people,” the DNC’s campaign chief told Axios. Shelby Cole.

The team’s first set of marching orders will be to harass the confirmation process of Trump’s Cabinet nominees, namely highlighting his personal wealth, according to Axios. An internal memo calls nominees “billionaire selections ineligible.”
The new initiative comes as Democrats are reassessing their election strategies across the board following Trump’s victory in November.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., admitted last week that Democrats should consider the 2024 election a loss and reflect on what went wrong in the party after losing White House and the Senate and not being able to overturn the House of Representatives.

Schumer appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” where she was asked about Democratic strategist James Carville’s claim that the reason Democrats lost was because “the economy, stupid”.
“I told my caucus, and I’ll say it here too … it was certainly a loss, but it’s also a challenge,” Schumer said of the election.
Schumer said Democrats faced “headwinds” in winning four of the seven Democratic Senate seats up for grabs, though he admitted that “we’ve done some things wrong and we have to look in the mirror and see what we’ve done bad”.

“What we’re going to do is spend time talking to working families, showing them how much we care about them,” Schumer added. “And not just talk about legislation, but talk about the conditions that have caused so many working families to worry about their future.”
