Zoom, the popular videoconferencing app, is playing an unexpected role in this year’s campaign as hastily assembled mega-rallies are being conducted to raise funds for Kamala Harris.
These virtual rallies have been able to raise millions of dollars to support Harris’s election campaign. The convenience and accessibility of Zoom have made it a popular choice for organizing such events in the current climate of social distancing.
Despite the challenges of organizing large gatherings in person, the use of Zoom has allowed supporters to come together from all over the country to show their support for Harris. The success of these virtual rallies highlights the adaptability of modern technology in political campaigns.
