Between the unprecedented candidates, all of the looming controversy, and endless scandals, this presidential race is unlike any we’ve seen in the history of the United States and emotions are running high. While voters are taking to social media to express their support (and anger), the candidates are putting on their digital market hats, relying heavily on social media, paid search advertising, and other digital strategies to engage this audience and get ahead in the race.
