Meet the 4 a.m. club, TikTok’s mystical election night movement

Did you wake up at 4 a.m. on November 6, 2024? If so, you’re not alone.

The 4 a.m. club is a group of people, mostly on TikTok, who say they were spiritually “activated” when they woke up around 4 a.m. the night of the U.S. election.

Many reported a deep, unshakable sense that Kamala Harris had won, even though the official results coming in at the time said otherwise. Others woke with a feeling of dread.

“Social experiment for the women,” one TikTok user posted the day after the election. “Who else woke up between 2 and 4 a.m. the morning after the election right as they were announcing basically that he won?” She continued: “Clearly, that was our first call to the coven, and we need to gather.”

Now they are doing just that under the name the “4 am Club,” coined by professional psychic medium Gia Prism.

“I didn’t set out to create the 4 a.m. club; it sprung up organically as thousands of us discovered we had a shared mystical experience on election night,” she told Fast Company. “My journey with it began as I spoke of my personal experience the morning after the election. The post immediately blew up and I watched as thousands of comments poured in from people who had the same experience.”

According to the theory, 4 a.m. was the moment two timelines—one where Kamala Harris became president, and the one we are currently existing in, where Donald Trump became president—split, causing many across America to wake with a start.

“In the clerb we all awake,” one comment beneath Prism’s video read. “4 am club here but are we all just so exhausted?” another added. With so much on the line, the 4 a.m. club isn’t about spiritually bypassing the election results; members say it’s a call to action.

“My content focuses equally on spiritual perspectives and healing opportunities as well as social justice and political activism,” Prism tells Fast Company. She hosts group healing meditations but also encourages participation in the physical world: attending protests, donating to causes, and speaking truth to power. There’s even merch.

They also have unwavering hope for the future. “We do not believe that the results we see now are the results we’re going to end up with,” Prism said in a video posted in December 2024. “We have a higher hope, and the reason we have a higher hope is because we were part of something unexplainable that happened to us on election night, and that is why we call it the 4 am Club.”

You don’t actually have to have woken up at 4 a.m. on November 6 to join.
