Iconic magazine’s ‘nasty’ Kamala cover

Weeks ago, TIME Magazine issued a devastatingly simple cover image after Biden’s debate disaster. Now, they’ve done it again.

A major US publication has dropped a simple new cover image following the news Joe Biden has withdrawn from the next US Presidential election.

TIME Magazine had earlier released a brutal cover image following Biden’s disastrous performance in his first debate with Donald Trump ahead of November’s election.

That cover summed up the prevailing mood inside the Democratic Party using one word – “Panic” – alongside a photo of Mr Biden seemingly wandering off the side of the magazine.

Three weeks later, TIME has released a sequel of sorts to that cover, with the news that Mr Biden has bowed out of the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Demoractic Party’s nominee.

 

TIME's cover the day after Biden's debate …

… and the day he's dropped out.
… and the day he's dropped out.

 

This time, the design’s had an update: Mr Biden is even further out of frame, wandering off to the right of the magazine cover, as a beaming Ms Harris steps into view from the left.

“Oh this is NASTY,” one person tweeted as the cover was shared on X.

“Oh they had this ready weeks ago. Lmaooo,” wrote one person, while another suggested TIME “had this one in the chamber ready to go.”

The magazine cover’s release comes as Ms Harris has issued her first statement after receiving Mr Biden’s endorsement, declaring her “intention is to earn and win” the Democratic presidential nomination.

In a statement released hours after Mr Biden announced his decision to drop out of the race, Ms Harris thanked the President for his leadership and said she was committed to defeating Trump.

“On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country,” Ms Harris Began.

“On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country,” Ms Harris Began.

“I am honoured to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination. Over the past year, I have travelled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election. And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead.”

Ms Harris immediately received endorsements from former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

But in a surprising blow, former US President Barack Obama didn’t endorse her bid — saying instead that Democrats would pick an unnamed “outstanding nominee” in his first statement on Mr Biden stepping aside from the party’s ticket.
