Joe Biden and Kamala Harris started their run on Twitter with no followers. This is not a bug in the system but a official profiles on the social network, @POTUS (President of the United States / President of the United States) and the shortest @VP for your running mate.

These institutional accounts do not belong to any particular person, but rather are reserved for the official use of those who are in turn in government. Twitter transferred them when they officially took office on Wednesday, but without the majority of followers.

This time it was different from the previous transition on Twitter, when President Barack Obama’s official accounts were turned over to President Donald Trump with supporters intact. Now, accounts will lose tens of millions of subscribers due to this Twitter implementation.

Biden Account @PresElectBiden has become @POTUS once Biden is sworn in as President of the United States. “My friends, this will be the account of my official duties as president,” he said in his new profile. He also recommended other official profiles of his leadership.

The other surprise came with the accounts of Harris and her husband, Douglas Emhoff. From @VP Kamala claims to be, in addition to the vice president, “Momala”, “aunt” and “a fighter for the people”.
