The tweet also links to his campaign website where the mug is currently selling for $22, with a description that reads: “Dark Brandon, dark roast. Tea drinkers welcome. Purchase is a donation to Biden Victory Fund. AMERICAN MADE | UNION PRINTED”
While several of Biden’s supporters took a moment to praise the mug and the message behind it, his critics also took the opportunity to criticize the promotion of the campaign.
Earlier this year, the Biden campaign was also seen selling t-shirts with the Dark Brandon joke phrase, shortly after his 2024 reelection campaign was launched. T-shirts sold for $32 during its launch in April of this year.
The glowing face with laser eyes has caused quite the commotion between supporters and critics. With the short clip of the Presidents mug sip going viral, many are left wondering what will be his next campaign promotional product.
