Alex Pearlman and other Pennsylvania influencers are attending the Democratic National Convention for the first time.
From left, Tell Williams @mrwilliamsprek, Alex Pearlman @pearlmania500, Dara Starr Tucker @darastarrtucker, and Kory Aversa @phillypublicist - all Pennsylvania content creators - document their DNC experiences on TikTok.Alex Pearlman explained in a video on TikTok last summer that traffic isn’t so bad in Philadelphia, except for the fact that the highway wasn’t there anymore.
“I was like, if this is going to be the last good summer in American history, that I wanted to spend it with my baby in the backyard in the kiddie pool,” he said in an interview. “I didn’t want to spend it necessarily over here.” Along with the video of his reunion with Shapiro, Pearlman has posted various moments of his time at the DNC — such as sharing a photo of a couch that had a sign on it reading “Property of J.D. Vance” , or panning the camera across the arena as former President Barack Obama addressed the room.
He later told his 2.8 million followers in a video from his hotel room that he had “never felt more connected to a group of people” than when he was surrounded by people scarfing down hot dogs and “sobbing into their nachos and cheese” while watching Michelle Obama speak at the DNC. Johnny Palmadessa, a Harrisburg-based creator who previously managed Shapiro’s social media, said in an interview that his expenses were paid by his supporters who raised money for him on GoFundMe.
“I’m trying to kind of come out of the closet a little bit more as a Pennsylvania resident,” she added.
