The subject of this paper is the communication strategies through which the candidates for the US presidency in 2024, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, imposed their individual political brands in the social network Tik-Tok.

This final stage of the campaign is often referred to as the phase of most intense &#8222;bombardment&#8220; of the public with political messages. The focus here is laid on the specific image-building techniques and messages used by the two presidential candidates. \u00a0The methods of data processing and interpretation used in the study include detailed information search, empirical evidence extraction, monitoring, discursive and comparative analysis of the data obtained.
