Yahoo Lifestyle Here Are The Funniest Jokes, Memes, And Tweets About President Joe Biden Dropping Out Of The 2024 Presidential Election
President Joe Biden has announced that he will not accept the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination, and the internet is popping off.
"It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President," he wrote in a letter posted on social media. "And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term."
In a second statement, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him as the nominee.
He wrote, “Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”
In seconds, reactions poured out across X (formerly known as Twitter), ranging from praise to apathy and, not surprisingly, humor.
There were the simple 💕 heart emojis from the first lady, Dr. Jill Biden.
Politicians are chiming in, like this lengthy on-brand callout of her colleagues from D-Dallas Rep. Jasmine Crockett.
And celebrities like Ariana Grande showed their support, subtly urging folks to register to vote.
But, the general public? Well, this is how they reacted:
People had nothing but jokes and memes to express their feelings about President Biden's impactful decision.
