Coconut emojis, memes and ‘nasty’ attitudes are Kamala Harris’ political weapons

Last Sunday, popular videos and memes about the American vice president once again actively surfaced on social networks. Kamala Harrisin response to US President Joe Biden’s announcement that he was withdrawing from the race for the White House and becoming the Democratic Party’s nominee.

Now the clear favorite to become the Democratic Party’s candidate for President of the United States. has fully entered the race for viral contentfor example, a video of the vice president explaining how to cook a Thanksgiving turkey, a clip of her dancing with students, or another in which she laughs uncontrollably.

The first female vice president of the United States was even awarded an award. coconut smiley face for a joke he told in May 2023 about his mother, who told him, “I don’t know what’s wrong with young people. Do you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?”

The phrase and the way Harris, 59, explained the familiar scene between laughter during a speech have been used to criticize her opponents more than a year later, but her campaign has also changed the game. and he takes advantage of this to make sarcastic comments about his candidate.

But the new viral phenomenon with Harris is the most talked about -born in Oakland, California- came hours after Biden issued a resignation letter, when the British singer known as Charli XCX posted a simple message on X: “Kamala IS.” (Kamala is a brat).

“Brat” is the title of Charli’s sixth studio album, but online it means much more than that, a concept that represents women who reject formality and “pure girl” aesthetics -popularized on TikTok- and opt for rebellious and disorderly behavior.

So, on the same day that the sitting president succumbed to pressure from his own party after his mediocre performance in the first debate of the November election against former president and Republican nominee Donald Trump on June 27, the English singer said Harris was behaving like a “bastard.”

The statement that more than this Tuesday had accumulated313,000 likes and 48 million views (it had nearly nine million visits in just four hours), so Harris’ campaign team decided to take advantage of the situation and include the link in the profiles of pre-candidates.

Thus, coconuts and palm trees are integrated into the new communications strategy of the Democratic Party, which could reintroduce enthusiasm into an election campaign that has so far been marked by election debates between candidates who left much to be desired and an assassination attempt on former President and Republican candidate Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania.

If Harris wins the Democratic presidential nomination at the party’s convention Aug. 19-22 in Chicago, Illinois, it remains to be seen what role her popularity and online presence will play in swaying key voters, such as the young.
