President Joe Biden has recently made his debut on the popular Chinese app TikTok, aiming to connect with the younger generation of voters. On Sunday, he shared his inaugural TikTok video with the caption “lol hey guys.” The video, which was posted on the Biden-Harris campaign TikTok account (@bidenhq), showcased President Biden responding to easy questions during the Super Bowl LVIII match between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.
Upon being questioned by an assistant about his preference between the Chiefs and the Niners, Biden responds by acknowledging the talent of both quarterbacks and expressing the difficulty in making a choice. However, he humorously adds that if he were to not support the Eagles, he would find himself sleeping alone, as his wife is a devoted fan of the Philadelphia team.
Subsequently, the aide poses a query that seemingly aligns with a conspiracy theory suggesting that Taylor Swift’s association with Travis Kelce, a player for the Kansas City Chiefs, is part of a scheme to manipulate the outcome of the NFL’s championship game and aid Biden’s re-election campaign in November.
“Deviously plotting to rig the season so the Chiefs would make the Super Bowl or the Chiefs just being a good football team?” the aide asks, to which Biden replies, “I’d get in trouble if I told you.”
Following that, a depiction of Biden emerges on the screen, with radiant crimson laser eyes, alluding to the “Dark Brandon” meme that the president’s campaign has chosen to adopt.
The Biden campaign has introduced “Dark Brandon” as a means to provoke conservatives by merging the well-known “Let’s Go Brandon” meme with the phrase “Dark MAGA,” commonly used by Trump supporters to encourage former President Donald Trump to pursue a more audacious campaign in 2024.
Additionally, the “Dark Brandon” meme incorporates eyes depicted as red laser beams, which alludes to another meme that supposedly originated within the Bitcoin cryptocurrency community.

The TikTok account of the Biden-Harris campaign emerges shortly after the Chinese app was prohibited from being used on the majority of U.S. government devices. This action was taken due to the concerns raised by U.S. lawmakers from both political parties, who view TikTok as a potential national security risk.
Biden’s attempt to appeal to younger voters through an app owned by a foreign country with hostile intentions has raised concerns among voters of all age groups due to his age and frequent mistakes. According to opinion polls, a significant majority of voters, approximately 75 percent, believe that Biden’s age makes him unfit for the presidency.
