Laura Loomer is running for Congress. Although Loomer's own Twitter account is banned, viral-ish tweets promoting her website from @JulieReichwein1 are frequently racking up far more retweets than likes, a potential sign of amplification via retweet rooms.

We downloaded the most recent 9 days worth of tweets linking lauraloomerforcongress(dot)com, yielding 35458 tweets from 13933 accounts, mostly retweets of @JulieReichwein1. Although very little of the traffic looks automated, it also doesn't exactly look uncoordinated. . .
232 of the accounts retweeting tweets linking to Loomer's campaign website look like potential #MAGA retweet room members, based on the frequent presence of tweets with substantially more retweets than likes on their timelines (both their own tweets and tweets they retweeted).
These 232 potential retweet room members (some of which we've confirmed are in #Mighty200+ rooms) are responsible for 25.6% of recent tweets linking to Loomer's website. Accounts that (probably) aren't room members retweeting room members makes up most of the rest of the traffic.
