#KHive is an online informal organization supporting the Vice-Presidential candidacy of Kamala Harris. It is not formally affiliated with the campaign. It formed during her 2020 presidential campaign as an effort to defend Harris from racist and sexist attacks. The movement has been cited as an example of social media fandom or stan culture. Harris' supporters also use the hashtag #WeGotHerBack.
The hashtag first emerged in August of 2018, before Harris had announced her presidential candidacy but after she told MSNBC's Kasie Hunt that she was "not ruling it out." As of July 2019, while Harris was in her presidential campaign, 38,000 Twitter accounts had used the hashtag and according to Vox "accrued an estimated 360 million impressions". The hashtag is a reference to #BeyHive, which is a group of Beyoncé fans.
Joy Reid first used the term in August of 2017 in a tweet saying "@DrJasonJohnson @ZerlinaMaxwell and I had a meeting and decided it's called the K-Hive." Eric Chavous first used it as a hashtag, tweeting as @FlyWithKamala, which he created after the 2016 election, in response to a Harris tweet showing a Vogue cover featuring Beyoncé and after he'd seen a television panel moderated by Reid in which panelists were "jokingly coming up with a term to call this growing legion of Kamala Harris supporters on social media."
When Harris endorsed Joe Biden in March 2020, the Biden campaign released a video in which Biden asks Harris if the #KHive will support him.
