Related: About this forumThis is the most-liked Instagram post of the presidential election
No, Donald Trump does not have the most-liked post of the election. Hes not even in the top 10.
The honor goes to Bernie Sanders, who swept all 10 spots when it comes to posts with the highest number of Instagram responses, according to data provided by the photo-sharing app. The top post (see below) has 119,000 likes. He might not be competing with Instagrams top users the Kardashian/Jenner clan regularly net millions of likes but thats pretty good for a politician.
After all, Instagrammers are Bernies demographic this election. For instance, CNNs exit polling after last months New York primary found Sanders took 72 percent of state voters ages 18 to 29, compared with Hillary Clintons 28 percent. Its likely a lot of those voters use Instagram.
Check out the top 10 posts again, all from Sanders below:
