WASHINGTON — If you’ve heard of Rep. Jeff Jackson and you’re not from North Carolina, there’s a good chance you’ve seen him on TikTok.
The freshman Democrat, who represents the state’s newly formed 14th District, has become a surprise social media star in recent months thanks to a series of videos in which he directly addresses the camera on topics including the Russia-Ukraine war, unmanned aerial vehicles and the controversy swirling around TikTok itself.
One video, on the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, has had more than 28 million views.
