Engagement
A typical post picks up 246 interactions against 842K followers, an engagement rate of 0.029%. Measured over 14 original posts, its engagement rate beats 50% of 3,829 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 21K times each, and 1.19% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.46% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.6 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 14 posts sampled, 29% carry an image or video and 36% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 16K interactions, about 67x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Tim Kaine's engagement rate beats 50% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 55% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Trump has launched an unnecessary, idiotic, and illegal war against Iran that puts America’s servicemembers and embassy personnel at risk. I’m calling on Congress to immediately return to vote on my War Powers Resolution that blocks war with Iran without congressional approval. https://t.co/lJ2fOElCRM

Now we see why Trump Invaded Venezuela Removed the dictator Maduro but . . . Kept his VP in power While blocking opposition leader and Nobel laureate Maria Corina Machado from returning home And delaying all talk of elections So the US could control Venezuelan oil in violation of its constitution! Will prices come down for Americans? Who knows but likely not as much as Trump has forced them up thru his idiotic Iran War. But here’s a guarantee—this will pad the pockets of Trump family and Big Oil companies and delay transition to cleaner energy. Bottom line—Using our troops for a private oil grab is corruption at epic scale! https://t.co/C1i8FRZDbG

- What is Tim Kaine's engagement rate on X?
- Tim Kaine (@timkaine) has an engagement rate of 0.029%, based on the median interactions across 14 original posts from the last 30 days against 841,596 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.029%, Tim Kaine sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,071 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @timkaine have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 50% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @timkaine post?
- Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.6 posts per day across the measured window.
