Kamala Harris's campaign continues to try to rope in as many influencers as possible, but more continue to come forward saying they flat-out denied getting involved with it. Whether they don't agree with Harris's positions or just don't want to get involved in politics at all, many don't say, but regardless, it seems that these influencers just don't see it as being worth it. 

And they're turning down money. 

Another influencer named Lauren Mochen just came forward and exposed the Harris campaign for attempting to pay her to say nice things about Harris and the Democrats. She said that before they could get started with her, they were going to send her a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to sign, effectively making it so that she couldn't talk about anything going on in the background or confess she was being paid to say it. 

Paying for support is a tale as old as time, but for many in the younger generations who, as Mochen notes, gets their news and opinion from the influencers they follow, she blew a whistle. 

"I know a lot of people get their views, and their opinions, and their beliefs based off of what their favorite influencers are saying," said Mochen. "Just know that they might have been paid to say the things they're saying."

Mochen is correct. Most of America does not follow politics at all and most of their news, especially political news, comes from third party sources such as influencers, fashion magazines, celebrity gossip rags, and more. The Democrat Party understands this and is attempting to leverage the internet's many influencers to sway people in their favor, which has historically worked via celebrities or famous activists.

In today's world, there's a smorgasbord of influencers to choose from for the Harris campaign, but it would appear that while some are definitely taking her up on the offer, many aren't. 

As I wrote last week, the Harris campaign had approached major streamers like Twitch's Kai Cenat who also openly turned them down on stream. This is not a good look for Harris, given Cenat's popularity with younger generations. 

Another influencer handed over an email from an agency to Arizona Republican Jake Hoffman. The agency offered to pay the influencer to create a series of posts describing what they "admire about the Biden-Harris Administration," and "what initiatives you support."

As Mochen noted, you'll likely see a lot of influencers speaking out positively about the Harris campaign and singing her praises, but just know that if they're famous enough, the likelihood of them being paid to do so is high and the post is actually disingenuous. As I wrote last week, even in Hollywood, it would appear that the will to engage in politics is thinning out and those that do are repeating the same tired points that the media is. 

At this point, it's pretty easy to conclude that money and fakeness are the only two things keeping the Harris campaign chugging.
