Georgia Young Democrats President Parker Short is going viral on TikTok for the energy he brought to Vice President Kamala Harris’ Atlanta rally, rapping along to Kendrick Lamar.
Video from Tuesday shows Short energetically dancing and singing along to Lamar’s “Not Like Us” while holding a “Kamala” sign.
“They not like WHO,” the user posted, riffing on Short’s whiteness.

The video has since been viewed 2.5 million times and racked up thousands of supportive comments like “Tell ’em Parker! More of this energy,” and “get this guy on her campaign team immediately.”
And it wasn’t just one TikTok of Short, whose identity initially was unclear but was later confirmed, that captured an audience.
“This guy sung the entire song at Kamala’s rally in Atlanta! Kendrick Lamar won for sure!” captioned someone else of a similar TikTok that has been viewed more than 325,000 times. “Everybody’s singing Not Like Us!”
