The hashtag #KHive refers to an online informal organization supporting the Vice-Presidential candidacy of Kamala Harris. It is not formally affiliated with the campaign. It formed prior to and 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.
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."
The hashtag 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.
Organizing platform Mobilize said Harris' digital team "was able to draw her community of online supporters, also known as the KHive, off the internet and into the volunteer ecosystem, where they could advocate on behalf of the campaign, call potential voters, and host events".
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.
