Joe Biden’s campaign shares job posting for ‘meme manager’ and internet understands the assignment

WASHINGTON, DC: The reelection campaign for President Joe Biden listed a job opening for a "meme page" manager on Daybook on Tuesday, May 21.

According to The Washington Times, the full-time job opportunity based in Wilmington, Delaware, is an attempt by the presumptive Democratic nominee, who is the oldest presidential candidate in the history of the United States at the age of 81, to better connect with young voters.

Polls conducted by CNN in April showed former President Donald Trump leading among young voters between ages 18-34 by 11 points in a head-to-head matchup, even with younger voters typically leaning towards the Democratic side. The response of the administration to the Israel's ongoing assault on Gaza is believed to be a driving force behind this decreased support.

The situation has not been aided by the TikTok ban bill, which Biden signed into law on April. A February study by the Pew Research Center showed that one-third of the adults in the country used the app, which is particularly popular with those between the ages of 18-34.

Memes have had a sizeable impact in garnering popularity of political figures, so much that the incumbent's campaign has adopted the 'Dark Brandon' meme, which shows an alternate version of Joe Biden with laser eyes, as the profile picture of the Biden-Harris HQ page on X (formerly Twitter).

Biden camp to hire a meme manager

The job description for 'Partner Manager, Content and Meme Pages' that has been put up on Daybook by the Biden campaign read, "The Biden for President (BFP) campaign is looking for a Partner Manager to join the Digital Partnerships team. In this role, you will initiate and manage day-to-day operations in engaging the internet’s top content and meme pages. The ideal candidate for this role is passionate about bringing political content to voters where they already are on the internet. They have a deep interest in politics and thrive in a fast-paced environment. This position is full-time and based in Wilmington, DE."

The primary responsibilities of the selected candidate would include cultivation and management of "relationships with top digital media companies, podcasters, and meme pages across a number of social media platforms," working "independently with external partners to identify and land engagement opportunities" and see them through to the end, as well as engaging "internal teams and cross-functional partners to foster innovative ideas."

Memes flood internet in response to Biden's call for 'meme manager'

"Biden checking in on the meme team," quipped a third.

"Gonna have to dust Biden off for the debates," stated a fourth.
