SAN FRANCISCO - After former Senator Mike Gravel failed to make the Democratic debate stage this week, the two teens running the 89-year-old’s long-shot U.S. presidential campaign used their spot on the sidelines trying to attract new supporters through social media.
David Oks and Henry Williams, both 18, spent Wednesday firing tweets from their seats in the debate’s Miami audience, attacking the candidates speaking on stage. The acerbic campaign has struck a chord. The @MikeGravel account saw a bump of some 9,000 Twitter followers since Wednesday, jumping to about 109,000, and the campaign says they are nearing 50,000 unique donors. They need 65,000 to make the next debate.
They convinced Gravel, known for reading the Pentagon Papers into the congressional record in 1971, to make a run for the November 2020 election, reprising his 2008 effort. One of his first steps was handing over his dormant Twitter handle to them.
