In a novel approach to reach young voters, US politicians Tim Walz and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) are taking to the popular gaming platform Twitch to connect with the demographic. On Sunday, Walz, a known Dreamcast fan and former high school football coach, will join AOC on her Twitch channel to play Madden NFL, a popular American football video game.

This move is seen as an attempt to tap into the gaming community, particularly young men, a demographic that President Trump has polled relatively high with in the past. The livestream, which will also be co-streamed on Kamala Harris' Twitch channel, is part of a broader strategy to engage with voters in new and innovative ways.

AOC has already made a name for herself in the gaming community, having previously livestreamed games such as Among Us and Pico Park. Her collaboration with Walz marks a significant moment in the intersection of politics and gaming, and could potentially pave the way for more politicians to leverage gaming platforms to connect with voters.

The livestream is set to kick off at 3 PM ET on Sunday, and will offer a unique glimpse into the personalities and gaming skills of these prominent political figures.
