The 2024 U.S. presidential election has been characterized by a distinctive mix of humor and controversy, primarily driven by viral social media memes that emerged in reaction to pivotal moments during the campaign. One of the most notable incidents was Donald Trump's peculiar assertion during a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, where he claimed that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were "eating the dogs" and "eating the cats." This statement not only provoked outrage and skepticism but also sparked a flurry of memes across various online platforms.

Another phrase has taken social media by storm: “Kamala is a brat.” This catchy label, coined by pop sensation Charli XCX, has sparked a wave of humorous content that perfectly encapsulates the playful yet chaotic nature of this election cycle.

The term “brat” was embraced by many as a lighthearted way to describe Harris's candid and sometimes sassy demeanor. In one of her interviews, Charli described a brat as “that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes,” which many interpreted as an endearing nod to Harris’s relatable side.

The social media became a playground for the memers who have created some hilarious content. Some of these are:

1. "Kamala not doing a speech while her following is waiting anxiously is incredibly BRAT"

We all are waiting for you Kamala.

2. "The sole reason she ended up #2 instead of #1 on the chart"

Somebody has to calm down.

3. "Donald trump dressed up as a squirrel"
