Madam President? Internet Reacts to Biden's Withdrawal with Memes & Merch

President Joe Biden's announcement that he won't run for a second term in 2024 has sparked online speculation about a potential Madam President, with VP Kamala Harris now the likely Democratic candidate.

...only "the Lord almighty" could convince him to step down.
— Joe Biden

Biden's withdrawal, a first in US history, comes after concerns about his performance in the initial debate against Trump, sparking op-eds and pleas from Democratic leaders.

Social Media Reacts:

Biden's withdrawal has unleashed a torrent of memes and jokes online, with phrases like "it's Joever" and a resurgence of the "coconut meme," a quote from Harris:

You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.
— Kamala Harris

Others jokingly painted Biden's decision as coming out, while some meme-makers expressed doom and gloom.

Explainer:

"Madam President" is the female equivalent of "Mr. President," a title we may soon see applied to VP Harris, who would also make history by becoming the first female president. Her husband, Doug Emhoff, the first "Second Gentleman," would become the "First Gentleman."
