Read our privacy policy The re-election campaign of President Joe Biden has embraced the “Dark Brandon” meme, with it featured on a 404 error message page and the laser-eyed 80-year-old already appearing on t-shirts. The “Dark Brandon” meme began to evolve in late 2021 when a Nascar reporter seemingly misheard a crowd chanting “f*** Joe Biden” as “Let’s go Brandon”. Vox culture reporter Aja Romano told NPR that “Biden’s embrace of the Dark Brandon meme shows not only an awareness of the meme and what it represents to many of his followers, but self-awareness of how the meme livens and rejuvenates his public persona”. “Especially as he gears up for a difficult reelection, look for him to lean even more into the ‘Dark Brandon’ meme on social media as a way of galvanizing supporters online,” Romano added.
