A few of the most popular memes are POVs and imagine Gaga as Biden’s new partner holding a very important conversation with the reader who is his child.

Another meme compared Biden and Gaga to J. Howard Marshall and Anna Nicole Smith who were known for their very large age gap when they wed. Smith was 26 and Marshall was 89.
