Ahead of the US Election next month, Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has devised an interesting strategy to convince young people to vote: become a Twitch streamer.
Ocasio-Cortez tweeted out on October 19 in search of people to play Among Us with her for what would be her first ever Twitch stream. As you can expect, she was inundated with applications in the comments, and it seems as if two of Twitch's biggest streamers have landed a spot on the Among Us stream. Both Imane 'Pokimane' Anys and Hasan 'Hasan' Piker received replies from the congresswoman.
In preparation for the star-studded Among Us stream, Ocasio-Cortez created a Twitch account. While it takes most new creators years to even get near to Twitch Partner status, AOC's channel managed to achieve it in less than an hour. At the time of writing, which is around 14 hours on from when she created her channel, AOC has over 170,000 followers.
