Alexandria OcasioCortez Sets up Twitch Channel to Stream Among Us
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez plans on streaming her Among Us gameplay on her Twitch account.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) plans on streaming Among Us on her Twitch account to encourage the general public to vote in the 2020 general election, which, for many states, has already begun with early voting.
"Anyone want to play Among Us with me on Twitch to get out the vote? (I've never played but it looks like a lot of fun)," she wrote on Twitter. Gamer Pokimane responded to the politician's request, offering to join her for her first stream. "Let's do it!" Rep. Ocasio-Cortez wrote back. "I'll set up an account and get some streaming equipment today."

This is not the first time Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has used video games to connect to her followers. Back in May, she opened up her Twitter direct messages for four minutes so gamers could send her their Animal Crossing: New Horizons Dodo codes. Following the success of her first island visit and the many "wholesome" messages she received, she opened her messages again for another four minutes so more followers could send her their codes.
Among Us divides players into two groups: Imposters and Crewmates. Each group does not know who is who. Imposters win by killing enough Crewmates so their numbers equal those of the Imposters. Crewmates win by completing all their tasks — which include rewiring electrical grids and refueling tanks — before being killed by Imposters. Imposters are also given sabotage tasks, which start a timer. If the timer runs out before the Crewmates deactivate it, the Imposters win.
Developed and published by InnerSloth, Among Us released on June 15, 2018, on Android and iOS before debuting later in the year on Steam. However, it remained hidden in obscurity until mid-2020, when the game exploded in popularity thanks to Twitch and YouTube game streamers. This led to the announcement of Among Us 2 in August 2020. The sequel was canceled a month later, with the developers opting instead to focus on improving the first game.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez was elected to the United States House of Representatives in the 2018 midterm elections. She took office at the age of 29, becoming the youngest woman ever to serve in the United States Congress. She is currently running for reelection against Republican John Cummings and write-in Antoine Tucker.
Developed and published by InnerSloth, Among Us is available on Android, iOS and Microsoft Windows.
