There is no doubt that the politicians are turning towards the gaming community considering a sizeable chunk of the young population is accessible here. Additionally, streaming popular titles in order to get them to vote is a brilliant idea. Although, this is not the only game she is interested in. Apparently, AOC is a known League of Legends player, which proves that she is closely associated with the gaming community.

Recently, we saw how Joe Biden get his own island in popular Nintendo Switch exclusive Animal Crossing: New Horizons. He used the game to his advantage in order to get more people to vote for him.
As for AOC, Among Us is the perfect choice. The game has blown up in popularity in recent months, and it shows no signs of stopping. It feels almost unreal considering that the game was released in 2018 and had almost negligible followers. Now, it is one of the most-watched games on Twitch, all thanks to the streamers who’ve made it popular.
Additionally, this game allows up to 10 players to play together in a lobby, which makes it easier for a lot of big-name streamers to play together. This only adds to the game’s popularity and makes things interesting for the viewers as well.

Naturally, it will be a great opportunity for AOC to get the word out in support of her cause. So far, she has responded to Pokimane, who is on board to stream with here. More streamers will definitely be joining in soon.
This also proves the success of Among Us. From being unknown, the game is now being used as in a presidential campaign, which is a great sign indeed.
