Actor and comedian Billy Eichner has taken to social media with an urgent message for fellow Democrats, calling on them to “panic” over the upcoming presidential election as polls show former President Donald Trump building momentum in key states.
In a three-minute video posted to TikTok this week, Eichner expressed alarm over Trump’s growing support and urged Democrats to take action, using strong language throughout his message.
“It is time to f—ing panic, okay? And not just panic but to do something about it,” Eichner said. He pointed to polling data that he believes indicates rising support for Trump and a lack of enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he briefly mentioned but did not discuss in terms of policy or appeal.
