<noinclude> </noinclude> (It's) Joever ( ) is a colloquialism and internet meme related to the Presidency of Joe Biden. It resurged in popularity after Joe Biden responded to pressure and decided to withdraw from the presidential election. History Bipartisan pressure existed in the form of Democratic party leaders' concerns such as about Biden's health and Republican mockery after the June 2024 United States presidential debate. According to The Washington Post, which mentioned the gloating meme as early as June, "as some Democrats raised the possibility of replacing Biden on the ticket, Trump aides and allies gloated and said it was too late. “IT’S SO JOE-VER,” one campaign email exulted". Mounting pressure on Joe Biden focused on his loss at the presidential debate and his days of isolation spent after his diagnosis of COVID-19. The surge of passionate memes bidding Biden farewell also attracted some satire and humor. Earlier speculation since the presidential debate about the timing of the change in the 2024 Democratic party ticket became validated and mainstreamed. The fact that the medium is a meme quickly disseminated Biden's announcement because the main sources of information for some voters are accounts like Pop Crave instead of traditional media such as radio and newspapers. Push notifications helped users reshare the meme instantly, before major news networks did so. A previous meme from 2023, which included a photograph of Barack Obama alongside Biden overlayed with the text "IT'S JOEVER WE'RE BARACK", reappeared during the surge of memes.<ref name":3" /> It was correlated with other resurgent memes about Kamala Harris being nominated as Biden's replacement such as Kamencing<ref name":5" /> picturing her heading towards the White House,<ref name=":2" /> as well as .<ref name":4" /> The reaction on Twitter was emotional.<ref name":4" /> Despite the memes, there is uncertainty among Democrats about the election.<ref name=":6" />
