The re-election campaign of President Joe Biden is offering a tee-shirt costing $32, which features the popular meme of “Dark Brandon”.
On Tuesday, Biden revealed his plan to seek a second term in the 2024 election in a 3-minute video.

On Biden’s campaign website, a $32 Dark T-shirt is available featuring an image of Biden with red laser eyes and the number ”2024.” The website states that it is “best worn while vanquishing malarkey.”
In August, after the Inflation Reduction Act was passed by Congress, the meme was initially adopted by those in the Biden camp.
Andrew Bates, Deputy Press Secretary for the White House, tweeted that “Dark Brandon was performing excellently” at the time.

The meme combines the ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ slogan which is anti-Biden, with the ‘Dark MAGA’ style, and suggests a tougher version of Biden.
At first, “MAGA 2.0” appeared online as a humorous reaction to individuals who employed “Dark MAGA” memes, which portray a hypothetical situation where a more dictatorial and extreme rendition of Trump comes back to the Oval Office driven by retribution.
Since then, the Dark MAGA meme has largely become unpopular on the right – possibly due to the abundance of “Dark Brandon”.
