Why does Biden campaign want to hire meme manager?
CNN polls conducted in April showed GOP leader Donald Trump leading among young voters aged between 18 and 34 by 11 points in a potential rematch, despite the fact that youngsters tend to support Democratic. However, it appears that Biden is losing out on the support of youngsters in response to Israel’s ongoing war on Hamas.
Another reason of fall in Biden’s popularity among the young voters is the TikTok ban bill, which was signed into law by Biden in April. According to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in February, one-third of all adults in the United States use the app, which is especially popular among those aged between the ages of 18 and 34.
Memes have had a major effect on the popularity of political personalities, to the point where the Biden campaign has used the ‘Dark Brandon’ meme, which depicts an alternative version of the incumbent president with laser eyes, as the profile photo for the Biden-Harris HQ page on X , formerly Twitter.

“Young people: stop funding all these wars and killing civilians. Biden-Harris: we need a meme manager,” another wrote.
“Biden checking in on the meme team,” a third user chimed in.
