The viral incident of President Joe Biden wearing a MAGA cap has resurfaced on social media following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 US elections. The moment, which initially made headlines when Biden was photographed wearing the red “Make America Great Again” cap in Pennsylvania, has sparked humor and memes online. Many internet users are now playfully suggesting that Biden secretly supported Trump after Kamala Harris lost the election.
The MAGA Cap Incident Revisited
To recall, the incident took place during the 9/11 memorial event in Pennsylvania, where Trump was urged by someone in the crowd to wear the MAGA cap. The photograph quickly went viral, leading many to speculate that Biden was endorsing Trump, especially after his public disagreements with Harris. The image stirred reactions, with some believing Biden’s choice to wear the cap symbolized his support for Trump, given the tension between him and Harris.
The Trump War Room also shared the image of Biden in the MAGA cap, writing, “Thanks for the support, Joe!”

After Trump’s win, memes began circulating that humorously suggested Biden had quietly supported Trump in the election, particularly after Biden was replaced by Harris. A meme titled “Tell Kamala” quickly gained traction, with netizens sharing Biden’s image and captioning it, “Tell Kamala. I want her to know it was me.” This led to speculation that Biden, feeling sidelined, might have secretly joined Trump’s side.

Biden’s Absence and Further Speculation
Since stepping down from the presidential race, Biden has kept a low profile and has not been actively endorsing Harris. His absence from the VP’s election result watch party fueled rumors, with some netizens suggesting that Biden might have been attending Trump’s Mar-a-Lago party instead. This further fed into the narrative that Biden was upset about being replaced and might have been sabotaging Harris’s campaign.
Netizens Say
The resurfacing of Biden’s MAGA cap photo has sparked a variety of reactions from netizens, with many linking the old incident to Trump’s recent victory. One user on X commented, “OBAMA is in disbelief right now. Biden is somewhere happy about the outcome because of the humiliation the left handed him. He even wore a MAGA cap and his wife, Jill, dressed in all red. What a message.”
Another user expressed their suspicion about Biden’s motives, writing, “You are so right. Ever since Biden wore that MAGA cap at a union rally I thought, ‘This is not a goof. This is deliberate.’” A third user suggested that Biden had been quietly undermining Harris, stating, “I think he’s been quietly sabotaging things for her. The MAGA cap he wore, then made sure to be photographed taking it onto his plane, going on The View (& everything he said on that show). I’m not surprised this has happened. Biden was disgracefully pushed aside & won’t take it.”
Further adding to the speculation, another user wrote, “Biden taking The Red MAGA cap he was gifted and wore onto Air Force One with him! Too funny for words! I guess he is pissed after all that his Democrats helped throw him out and replaced him with Kamala Harris!!!” One more user commented, “It’s evident especially after Joe Biden wore the MAGA cap in front of everyone. They both hate each other now as it seems.”
As memes and speculation continue to swirl, Biden’s MAGA cap incident remains a humorous and provocative symbol for some of his ongoing political struggles.
