Connor BrookeVerification, according to Twitter’s website, is used “to establish authenticity of identities on Twitter. The verified badge helps users discover high-quality sources of information and trust that a legitimate source is authoring the account’s tweets.”

@NickiManaj is verified and the others are not her.
Verification is used to establish authenticity and legitimacy.
Those are Twitter’s words.

Isn’t @JoeBiden the Vice President of the United States?
