His followers moved from 12.2miliion followers as at 12:30 am GMT+1 to 16.8 million followers as at the time of writing this (7:30 am GMT+1).
This jump is largely attributable to the victory of the septuagenarian at the recently concluded polls. Recall that Nairametrics had earlier announced that Joe Biden has won the US presidential race having satisfied the 270 electoral college votes threshold.
What this means: The hike in Joe Biden’s Twitter followership demonstrates his acceptance and popularity globally, little wonder he achieved the highest vote ever by any American presidential hopeful with over 75 million votes.
Why it matters: The recent development is a big boost to the president-elect, especially as he strives to gain the trust and support of his country’s allies and friends and rebuild the frosty relationship prevalent in the outgoing regime. It also puts to an end questions over the popularity of Joe-Biden as implicitly implied by the outgoing regime, who raised alarm over the credibility of the polls.
What to expect: Nairametrics expects a further increase in the numbers especially in the coming days ahead when the legitimacy of Joe Biden will be confirmed.
