Chadwick’s final tweet
On the day Joe Biden opted out of the US Presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris as the potential substitute, the internet had a field day at churning out memes. Amid the sea of memes, the final tweet of Chadwick resurfaced from August 2020, days before he died of colon cancer.
The tweet has a photo of him standing next to Kamala, who is hugging him. They twin in white – he’s wearing a white T-shirt and she’s dressed in a white T-shirt and blazer. In the background, one can see the text “Freedom for Immigrants!” printed across a banner. Chadwick’s tweet states, “YES @KamalaHarris! (applause emojis) #WhenWeAllVote #Vote2020.”
Internet reacts as tweet resurfaces
As the tweet resurfaced amid Kamala’s potential nomination as the Democrats’ presidential race contender, many X users reposted it and commented on it. One of them wrote, “Do it for Chadwick Boseman; Do it for one of the best actors to ever win- Do it for T’Challa (his Black Panther character), if you have to.” Another commented, “Wish you were here to see her become our first female President!”
A third user wrote, “They might be about to make this happen for you, Chadwick. It’s 4 years later, but this could be it.” “Message heard, brother,” said another. “Continue to rest in power! We got her again this November !! (black heart and applause emojis),” read a tweet. “Bro predicted the future (skull face emoji),” said a person.
In recent weeks, several high-profile Hollywood names had begun calling for Joe Biden to exit the race. Just weeks after headlining a record-breaking fundraiser for the president’s reelection campaign, George Clooney wrote a New York Times opinion piece calling for Biden to end his bid. Clooney argued that the party should pick a new nominee, saying the process would be “messy” but “wake up” voters in the party’s favour.
