After becoming inaugurated, US President Joe Biden has assumed manage of the @POTUS account on Twitter, which is the official manage of the president of the United States. From his official account, President Biden follows just 12 men and women – his wife Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, a couple of of his aides, the official account of the White House… and model Chrissy Teigen.
If you are shocked to see the final name on the list, there is a story behind its inclusion.
Model, tv star, author, entrepreneur – Chrissy Teigen dons a lot of hats, but maybe she is most renowned for her outspoken character on Twitter. A vocal critic of former president Donald Trump, who as soon as was famously known as her a “filthy-mouthed wife”, Chrissy had been blocked by the @POTUS account for years even though it was beneath Trump’s manage.
On Wednesday, she tweeted an appeal to incoming president Joe Biden. “hello @joebiden I have been blocked by the president for four years can I get a follow plz,” the 35-year-old wrote.

“OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!” she tweeted in disbelief right after the truth was pointed out.

“I can finally see the president’s tweets and they probably won’t be unhinged,” she added in an apparent dig at Trump, whose tweets ranged from strange to downright bizarre at instances.
The POTUS Twitter account has 4.6 million followers.
From his individual Twitter account, Joe Biden follows 46 men and women. The list consists of Lady Gaga – who performed at the Inauguration ceremony – the Obamas, and Hillary Clinton, amongst other folks.
