#KHive is an online informal organization supporting the Vice-Presidential candidacy of Kamala Harris. It is not formally affiliated with the campaign.[1] It formed during her 2020 presidential campaign as an effort to defend Harris from racist and sexist attacks.[2][1][3] It is an example of stan culture.[1][3] Harris' supporters also use the hashtag #WeGotHerBack.[2]

The hashtag first emerged in August of 2018,[1] before Harris had announced her presidential candidacy but after she'd told MSNBC's Kasie Hunt she was "not ruling it out."[4] 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".[1] The hashtag is a reference to #BeyHive, which is a group of Beyoncé fans.[2][1][3] It was first used by Eric Chavous 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 "jokingly coming up with a term to call this growing legion of Kamala Harris supporters on social media."[1]

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.[3]
