In the age of smartphones, the candidate selfie has become almost a requirement in politics.
Aamer MadhaniELKHART, Indiana — The local county Democratic chairman marveled at what he was seeing.
Democratic U.S. presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren poses for selfies with voters after a campaign town hall at George Mason University May 16, 2019 in Fairfax, Virginia. Sen. Warren held a town hall to tell her plans for Americans and answer questions from voters.Warren isn't the only 2020 candidate taking selfies, but the Massachusetts senator has set herself apart in the crowded field by making the photo line a signature part of her campaign events.
“If anybody wants to, and I don’t think anybody will want to, we’ll do selfies after,” Warren teased. Warren took to Twitter to tip her hat to Booker's selfie game after the two posed together with a young woman while campaigning last month in South Carolina.Biden makes 30 to 45 minutes to work the rope line at nearly every public event, according to his campaign, so supporters can get the chance snap photos and selfies with him.
“The chance to take a photo with someone who may be our first female president felt like a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Flowers said. Kelsie Pittel, 26. and Megan Utter, 29, of Iowa City, were among people who stayed late at Biden’s June stop in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, to get their photo taken with the former vice president.
In her 2016 memoir, Clinton wrote that the selfie had become an obstacle to in making meaningful connection with voters and felt “impersonal.”
