A local TikTok user has highlighted the fact that she is one 30-second US politics explainer video ahead of her friends after explaining that Kamala cannot afford to lose Pennsylvania.
Mikki Mercer (25), a recently self-proclaimed US political expert, has generously imparted some wisdom to friends who don’t doom-scroll TikTok as much as she does.
“Guys, Pennsylvania decides this election. You should be keeping your eye on that state all day,” she explained.
Mikki, who only a few months ago didn’t even know what the electoral college was (she still doesn’t quite get it), has recently found that her TikTok algorithm is almost entirely made up of American girlies in their bedrooms explaining Kamala Harris’s path to electoral victory.
“It sort of just happened, you know? Now I know the ins and outs of the Al Gore-Bush debacle of 2000.” she says
Mikki’s friends have said that although they appreciate the extra information on an important election, they think there is a real chance of their friend being humbled today.
“She acts like she didn’t just learn all of this last night. It’s getting unbearable,” said Jessie Doyle (29), Mikki’s housemate.
Another friend, Sarah Wong (27), said that while Mikki’s updates were funny at first, they’re getting a bit much.
“Shee’s always dropping these ‘insider’ facts like she’s some campaign strategist.”
As the day goes on, Mikki continues to share what she thinks are key election insights, based on whatever new TikTok pops up on her feed.
Her friends believe she’ll probably forget these details soon after the election is over.
For now, though, they’re humoring her newfound “political expert” vibe.
