In October 2016, the month before Election Day, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton appeared on Hamby’s Good Luck America Snapchat show for an interview. A week before Election Day, 4.4 million Snapchat viewers watched Good Luck America as Hamby spoke with President Barack Obama about the importance of voting. Republican nominee Donald Trump declined an interview request from Snapchat. Trump would only join Snapchat after he defeated Clinton. He would use it to snap special events like his inauguration.
