Harris campaign releases its own Fortnite map
The Harris campaign has launched a map on the popular video game "Fortnite."
The map, called “Freedom Town, USA,” is attached to taglines like “Fight For Freedom” and was designed around Vice President Harris’s campaign pillars, including tax breaks for small businesses and affordable housing.
The map is joined by political takeovers of at least eight other Fortnite Creative maps, which include political in-game signage, custom models and themed audio cues. In one of these cues, former President’s Trump’s infamous "they're eating the dogs, eating the cats" quote from the presidential debate will play when a player collects a cat.
In a video posted on the social platform X, the Harris-Walz campaign advertised the new map with a video set to rapper Megan Thee Stallion’s song “Neva Play.” Megan Thee Stallion performed at one of Harris’s first rallies in Atlanta in early August.
With just more than a week left until Election Day, the Harris-Walz campaign is targeting young voters to go out and cast their ballots. In another attempt to garner support from young male voters specifically, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Harris’s running mate, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) played "Madden NFL" together on the livestreaming platform Twitch on Sunday.
A Harvard Institute of Politics youth poll found that the gender gap among youth supporters of Harris and Trump more than doubled since the spring. Trump led by 8 percentage points in the spring when President Biden was the Democratic nominee; now, Harris leads among young voters by 20 points.
