Vincent Harris is an American conservative political strategist and the CEO of Harris Media, an online communications firm based in Miami, Florida .
Harris joined Mike Huckabee 's 2008 presidential campaign a few months after it was announced, working as the campaign's official blogger.[2] [3] The following year, Harris served as Online Director for Bob McDonnell 's successful gubernatorial campaign.[4] McDonnell's online campaign was one of the first major Republican campaigns to embrace social media.[5] [6] [7]
Harris was active in the 2012 presidential campaign . He first served as the online strategist for Rick Perry .[8] After Perry dropped out of the race and endorsed Newt Gingrich , Harris was hired to help the Gingrich campaign's online and social media operations.[9] In 2012, National Journal named him one of ten Republicans to follow on Twitter .[10]

Harris has held leadership positions in other campaigns. In 2012, Harris led the digital operations of Ted Cruz's successful senate campaign.[11] In 2014, he was the lead digital director of Senator Mitch McConnell's campaign, bringing "a new era of social campaigning for Republicans" through social media integration.[12] Harris was reported to have been hired by the Likud Party to work on the re-election campaign for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2015.[13] [14] In 2016, Harris joined Senator Rand Paul's team as the top digital strategist.[15]
In October 2015, Harris was behind Paul live-streaming an entire day on the campaign trail. By the end of the day, Paul had enough and called it a "dumbass livestream." The comment from Paul brought about a flurry of negative attention to an already slumped campaign.[16]
“I wish I knew [why the campaign was live-streaming an entire day]. I’ve been saying, I don’t want to do this, I don’t want to do this and now we’re doing this.”[17]
— Rand Paul, The Washington Post
In June 2016, POLITICO reported that Donald Trump's presidential campaign had hired Harris and his team to work for the campaign.[18]
Harris is currently attending the University Of Texas working towards his PhD.[19]
