So far in 2024, members of Congress have posted a total of 628,998 tweets on X, slightly more than in 2023, when they tweeted 616,701 times during the same period, according to the report. Quorum noted that the slight increase in 2024 was likely due to it being a presidential election year and increased activity on the platform.
Top Democratic posters who posted on X a year ago have scaled back their activity on the platform in 2024, the report found. Rep. Dwight Evans (D-Pennsylvania), who represents the state's 3rd Congressional District, was the most active X poster last year, posting 4,567 posts.
