福克斯新闻独家首发： 共和党全国委员会（RNC）正加大其社交媒体投入，并效仿总统唐纳德·特朗普的做法，正式推出TikTok账号，这标志着该党在继续寻求与年轻选民建立联系方面的战略转变。
共和党全国委员会计划在数字前线产生影响，其中包括正式推出TikTok账号@Republicans，该账号旨在吸引关键人群——即30岁以下的选民，他们可能不关注传统政治新闻，但严重依赖社交媒体获取信息。
这一举措出台之际，皮尤研究中心（Pew Research）的民调显示，63%的18-29岁美国人使用TikTok。该平台已成为争取下一代选民的重要战场。
特朗普将TikTok视为其2024年选举胜利的关键部分。

“我以前并不喜欢TikTok，后来开始使用它，”特朗普去年秋天表示，“然后我就成了它的粉丝，而且它帮助我以压倒性优势赢得了选举。”
数据显示，TikTok对特朗普及其政府来说是一个有价值的工具。路透社报道称，他加入该平台后仅24小时内就积累了约300万粉丝，并迅速吸引了数千万次浏览。
2025年，白宫加入TikTok并迅速获得关注，截至今年1月初，已积累500万粉丝和超过8000万次点赞。除了推出自己的账号外，共和党全国委员会还鼓励全国的共和党候选人效仿，加入该平台以与选民互动，并在民主党历史上占据主导地位的领域实现竞争平衡。

“特朗普总统证明了TikTok的强大力量，并采取了果断行动确保这个平台为美国用户所用，”共和党全国委员会主席乔·格鲁特斯（Joe Gruters）告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“我们的新账号将直接向通过网络获取新闻的年轻选民传递‘美国优先’的内容，现在平台安全了，我们鼓励全国的共和党候选人也这样做。”
今年早些时候，TikTok宣布达成一项历史性协议，成立一家由美国控股的合资企业。这一举措是在特朗普的指导下进行的，旨在避免该流行社交媒体应用可能面临的美国禁令，并希望缓解人们对中国能够通过该应用影响美国人的担忧。
“我很高兴能帮助拯救TikTok！它现在将由一群伟大的美国爱国者和投资者拥有，他们是世界上最强大的力量，而且将成为一个重要的声音，”特朗普在Truth Social上发文称。
特朗普和共和党人在争取年轻选民方面的成功帮助共和党在去年的选举中重新赢得白宫和参议院，并保住了众议院多数席位。

共和党人希望在即将到来的中期选举中重复这一成功，他们试图在众议院维持微弱多数席位，并在参议院维持三席多数优势，尽管历史趋势显示民主党占优。
“我认为美国总统是我们的秘密武器……他目标明确，专注于核心事务，”格鲁特斯在上个月接受福克斯新闻全国数字独家专访时表示。
他指出特朗普在重返白宫第一年的前所未有的议程，认为“我认为这将在各方面带来巨大回报，无论你是竞选州长、参议院、众议院席位，还是地方职位。”

FIRST ON FOX: The Republican National Committee is upping its social media presence and following President Donald Trump’s lead by officially launching a TikTok account, marking a strategic shift for the party as it continues to look to connect with younger voters.
The RNC’s plan to make an impact on the digital front lines involves the official launch of @Republicans on TikTok, which is designed to engage a critical demographic, voters under 30 who may not follow traditional political news but rely heavily on social media for information.
The move comes at the same time polling from Pew Research shows that 63% of Americans aged 18-29 use TikTok. The platform has become an essential battleground for reaching the next generation of voters.
Trump has credited TikTok with being a key part of his election victory in 2024.

“I wasn’t a fan of TikTok, and then I got to use it,” Trump said last fall. “And I became a fan, and it helped me win the election in a landslide.”
The data shows that TikTok was a valuable tool for Trump and his administration. Reuters reported he amassed roughly 3 million followers in just 24 hours after joining the platform and quickly began drawing tens of millions of views.
In 2025, the White House joined TikTok and quickly gained traction, racking up 5 million followers and 80 million-plus likes as of early January. In addition to launching its own account, the RNC is encouraging Republican candidates across the country to follow its lead and join the platform to engage with voters and level the playing field in a space where Democrats have historically dominated.

“President Trump proved how powerful TikTok can be and took decisive action to secure this platform for American users,” RNC Chair Joe Gruters told Fox News Digital.
“Our new account will deliver America First content directly to younger voters who get their news online, and we’re encouraging Republican candidates nationwide to do the same now that the platform is safe.”
Earlier this year, TikTok announced it reached a historic deal to launch a majority American-owned joint venture, a move guided by Trump and aimed at averting a potential U.S. ban on the popular social media app and hoping to alleviate concerns about China’s ability to influence Americans on the app.
“I am so happy to have helped in saving TikTok! It will now be owned by a group of Great American Patriots and Investors, the Biggest in the World, and will be an important Voice,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
Gains by Trump and Republicans in courting younger voters helped the GOP win back the White House and the Senate and hold their House majority in last year’s elections.

Republicans will be hoping to repeat that success in the upcoming midterms as they attempt to hold onto a razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives and a three-seat majority in the Senate despite historical trends suggesting Democrats have the advantage.
“I think the President of the United States is our secret weapon. … He’s laser focused,” Gruters said in a national digital exclusive sit-down interview with Fox News last month.
Pointing to Trump’s unprecedented agenda during his first year back in the White House, Gruters argued, “I think it’s going to pay huge dividends across the board, whether you’re running for governor, Senate, House or whether you’re running for a local seat.”
