Short, the President of the Young Democrats of Georgia, said he is using his newfound internet stardom to direct attention to his organization which seeks to engage and elect young Democrats in the state.

“It's a little overwhelming," he said. "Have all these new people following me. But there's been an immense amount of support and love, and I'm so grateful that I can use this silly moment to direct people towards the importance of youth organizing." 

The video of Short dancing was reposted on multiple social media platforms and has been viewed, shared and liked thousands of times.  

Short said that the video of him dancing represents a larger cultural shift that he says young voters are feeling. 

"We have a new generation, we have a new leader and we have a new hope," Short said. "And I cannot wait. Because energy is off the charts."
