Mary Jo Laupp is a widely renowned American political social media influencer, as well as a grandmother and mother of four married to a Minister. She is aged 51 and is a social media influencer on TikTok, a relatively new visual platform. She is credited with interfering with a Trump campaign rally. She grew in a Christian family in Michigan and went to Cornerstone University a Christian University in Grand Rapids Michigan and the University of Phoenix. She now works in the music department of a high school in Fort Dodge, Iowa. She is an accompanist in the Choral Dept, a Musical theatre director, and a pit pianist.
Laupp feels her views are increasingly liberal; she voted for Gary Johnson the Libertarian Party nominee in 2016 and she has also volunteered for the Democratic campaign of Pete Buttigieg.
She became famous when she posted a video on TikTok protesting at the Trump rally being held in Tulsa Oklahoma on Juneteenth – the city where a racist massacre occurred in 1921. She encouraged young people to Google “Juneteenth” and “Black Wall Street”. Juneteenth marked the emancipation of slaves with a holiday; the aim was to help involve young people in politics. Attendance was lower than expected for the Trump Rally, although Trump supporters deny her influence. Mary Jo has now been recruited by the “Biden Digital Coalition” to campaign for the Democrats and is using social media as a political campaign tool as part of her strategy.
