The Trump campaign quickly jumped on a viral moment after President Joe Biden was photographed wearing a 'Trump 2024' hat. The Trump War Room responded on X with, "Thanks for the support, Joe!" The photo, taken during a private meeting in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, quickly gained attention, particularly among Republicans.
Social media users were quick to react, with some pointing to Biden’s apparent unawareness, while others highlighted the irony. One user recalled Trump’s recent joke about sending a MAGA hat to Vice President Kamala Harris. Meanwhile, some defended Biden, saying he wore the hat to honour a firefighter’s request during the event.
The incident followed a heated second presidential debate between Harris and Trump, where issues like abortion and immigration were central. Critics used the viral image to question Biden’s mental sharpness and his support for Harris.
Meanwhile, various post-debate polls indicated that Harris came out on top. A CNN poll showed her as a 63-37 winner, compared to a pre-debate 50-50 split. Among viewers, 96% of Harris supporters said she performed better, while only 69% of Trump supporters felt the same about him.
