The Biden staffer’s social media bios say ‘woman from the neck up’ and ‘DC’s twirling twunk’
Eric Lipka, a Democratic staffer, has recently announced on social media that he has joined the Biden-Harris campaign as a deputy press secretary for Pennsylvania. Alongside his political work, Lipka also performs as a drag queen on weekends, according to his social media profiles and posts reviewed by Fox News Digital.

Lipka previously worked in Senator Elizabeth Warren’s office before transitioning to the Biden campaign. He shared his excitement about his new role in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Thrilled to share that I have joined the Biden-Harris campaign as deputy press secretary for Pennsylvania!” The post, which has since been made private, received a mix of congratulations and criticism, with some mocking the Biden campaign and highlighting Lipka’s weekend drag queen performances.
Lipka, who performs under the names “Erotica,” “Erica Lipka,” and “Erotica the Drag Queen,” has multiple social media accounts on platforms like X, Facebook, and Instagram. Following the attention from Fox News Digital and the popular Libs of TikTok account, which amplified Lipka’s drag queen activities to 1.5 million views, he made most of his social media profiles private.
Despite this, a review by Fox News Digital found Lipka’s name tagged in numerous public Facebook posts dating back to 2021 when he was a student at Georgetown University. These posts often promoted drag brunches, drag shows, and other events featuring Lipka.
In early 2024, Lipka performed at Hampden Sydney College for their Unity Alliance Lavender Ball, an event featuring multiple drag queens. Additionally, in April 2024, he was listed as a performer for the “Elevate your brunch” drag event. In January 2024, he participated in “Saint Saturday” in Richmond, Virginia.
Over the past few years, Lipka has participated in various drag shows across different locations, including Rehoboth Beach, multiple venues in Maryland, Connecticut, and LGBTQ-friendly venues in Washington, D.C. An April 2023 Facebook post featured Lipka on a promotional flyer for “Looney’s Pub presents Brunch Tunes” in College Park, Maryland.
This combination of political engagement and drag performance highlights the diverse personal and professional life of Eric Lipka as he takes on a new role in the Biden-Harris campaign while continuing to embrace his passion for drag.
