And that may be on purpose, not knocking the Tweet at all - but it should be "paid more than I" - there is an implicit verb there, "did", and so if it was not shortened, it would be, "got paid more than I did".

However, I'm probably being overly picky, because it would sound pretty stuffy if she subbed in "I" for "me".

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
