A Foolish Take: Twitter and Presidential Politics

It's fair to say that Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) has become a much larger part of the conversation in the United States over the past two years as a result of politics.

But just how wide of a reach does Twitter offer politicians? That depends in part on how many followers they have on the platform.

President Donald Trump, who has embraced Twitter as his principal means for communicating with his base, has 41.8 million followers. That's a lot -- more than double Hillary Clinton's 19.5 million followers.
