'If You Can Keep It': Memes And Making Sense Of Political Moments
It's been a week since Vice President Kamala Harris seemingly fell out of a coconut tree... and into her spot as the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination.
President Biden's decision to bow out of the race, paired with swift and enthusiastic Harris endorsements from high-ranking Democrats has breathed new energy into the campaign.

We discuss how meme are helping voters make sense of this moment in politics.
