Cenat shared the calls and expressed a mix of disbelief and excitement over the calls in characteristic candid style. Even the contact by the Vice President’s campaign, or even the Secret Service, with a popular online influencer like Cenat represents a larger trend in campaigns. Much the same, political campaigns have come to realize more and more the power of social media influencers in delivering messages to young demographics, especially those in Gen Z who often engage more through online media than via more traditional source channels.
The proposed collaboration looked to make use of the great influence and massive, dedicated following Cenat had gathered in reaching young audiences. Political campaigns view influencers as gateway access into their large, engaged communities; hence, it can facilitate political engagement in the digital age. However, in complete contrast to all this high-profile attention, he seemed pretty clear about the matter regarding politics. It was definite that he would not like to stay in politics and its workings, more so when it came to endorsements.
“I just want to entertain and have a good time with my community,” Cenant said in his stream, telling his viewers that he doesn’t really try to take sides or be some kind of political figure but would be all about the content. A lot of people from his following relate to this, so many are very much appreciative of him remaining as himself and taking his work seriously.
