and the vice president's name in the same font style as the one on charli xcx's album. this as the internet is now inundated with coconut means they've spiked since president biden announced he was leaving the race, but have been paused popular on social media since harris made this remark at an event last year, my mother used to, she would give us a hard time sometimes and she would say to us, i don't know what's wrong with you. young people you think you just fell out of a coconut tree context of what harris is mother meant and you're not understanding that you come from a place you come from a people. >> and so people grabbed hold of that. the whole coconut imagery, all of this analysts say could galvanize harris's campaign with a critical part of the electorate. >> this is sort of a sign and indicative of just the momentum that kamala harris as the democratic party has right now. cleaning with a voting bloc that democrats were worried about, and that was young voters. >> the entertainment and political analysts. we spoke to say the next big endorsement we should loo

in a recent post from pop star charli xcx, it said kamala is brat, a reference to the singer's new albumality. it has led to the charli xcx fans to flood the internet with memes about kamala harris, and for the campaign to embrace the brat summer theme using lime green, also known as brat green. here, the color linked to her album. so for more on brat summer and the importance of the youth vote, we are joined by jessica solis, deputy press secretary for voters of tomorrow, a group focused on political engagement of gen z. jessica thanks so much for joining us here. voters of tomorrow endorsed harris very quickly, and we'll get to that in just a minute. but first off, give us your definition of brat summer and explain the phrase kamala is brat. >> yeah, thanks for having me. i think what this really comes down to is just being authentic, i think if you listen to the actual album, there's music all about being, embracing your vulnerability, but also knowing how to have a good time and join in on the fun, and i think vice president harris has done a really great job of both of those things.

it's a term coined by pop star charli xcx, whose album is titled brat.'s been widely embraced, even inspiring this mural in san francisco. this is in soma. brat is defined as edgy and distinctive, with a carefree but a polished look that stands out, charli xcx wrote on social media. kamala is brat and her fans went so crazy for it that the harris campaign changed their page to match the album. it's distinctive because they always use this very noticeable green and that freedom break chains all by myself. did you hear that? according to a cnn source, beyonce gave vice president kamala harris her presidential campaign permission to use her popular song freedom. the vice president walked out to the song ahead of her first speech at campaign headquarters yesterday. apparently, beyonce gave them permission as soon as they asked, despite her usually strict clearance guidelines. >> okay, i know you were still there. >> new at six, a popular lgbtq bar in san francisco recovering from a scary break-in and robbery. >> and the standoff continues between the 40 nine

the summer of brat will also continue with charli xcx's new album named, as well.ember. time now for ten seconds of great escapes. this tortoise named solomon was rescued by engineers after being spotted on train tracks. his escape caused four trains to be delayed, but at least he got home safely! you're all caught up now, have a great night. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm hugh ferris. our top stories. there are many sporting mysteries to be solved during paris 202a. but perhaps the biggest question — how will the opening ceremony go? the unique river seine show is just hours away. but the olympic action has already begun with spain hoping for a gold medal to add to their women's world cup. while andy murray has played the final singles match of his career, concentrating on the doubles only as he prepares to retire from tennis after paris. hello again. for all the new sporting stories paris is ready to tell over the next two and a bit weeks, its olympics start — officially at least — with something truly unique. the opening ceremony will take place for the fir

in fact, singer charli xcx posted on x suggesting that kamala harris is a �*brat�* — a reference to theth supporters now tweeting videos of ms harris remixed with charli xcx's music. natasha is a professor and explained to me why celebrity endorsements don't always work for everyone. for the most part, celebrity endorsements don't really make a big impact. so most celebrities tend to endorse the democratic party, and there's even some concerns that when they step out and endorse democratic candidates, that it could backfire and make some americans feel turned off by the fact that the democrats are being supported by hollywood elite. there was concern about the big fundraiserjoe biden had back injune that was taking place in los angeles, and what the applications of that are. of course, there are some moments whence liberties can make a big difference, and one of the noted examples is when taylor swift posted something on social media — and that day, you had 35,000 people registered to vote, she was trying to get people to register to vote in the state of tennessee, in nashville, where s

charli xcx, who i do know, quote, brat you're just that girl who is a little messy and likes to party. and maybe says some dumb things, some times. and quote the idea that we're all kind of brand and vice president harris is brad. i don't well, i don't know if arise fire right become brad i won't go to try to work at it. i will i will aspire whether it's her or some in the language of their own, that apparently nobody at this table speaks to. another generation because this is your generation. >> she's going to her millennial, take it easy you tell me is this you're going to own it. >> he's got to own it, own it well, i mean, the truth of the matter is at 59. she is the youngest candidate in the race and also donald trump is now the oldest living presidential. now that district and someone with her first run, the k hiv, if you will, like, she did have a huge social media presence five years ago when she was running unsuccessfully it did not do much good for her electoral outcome, but she did have that kind of entree into this world. >> and i think it's going to be turbo-charge now for

her most quotable moments with the overlay of green and sent to the music of british pops star charli xcx. so her most recent album is called brad. it came out last month as you see there, charlie then posted on x camila is bratt now she posted this on sunday just shortly after president biden gave his endorsement to harris to be the democratic nominee. and let me tell you why this is such a big deal. charli xcx has a huge young following. she's very much immersed in air net culture and what the biden campaign couldn't due and was struggling with doing was getting in gen z support will now kamala harris has complete gen z attention and she is really embraced this now, for all you who are wondering what brad means while charli xcx, she says it's a girl who likes the party, is just herself makes mistakes, but it's really just her true self. gen z has embraced this. they're all wearing green. it's a brat summer, it's an aesthetic, it's a mood, it's a culture could it be likes to party does not make mistakes. and where's greenshields are divided as volatile? i was like, yup i am worried we ho

this summer after charli xcx released her album by that same name in june brad isn't just an album, it'sa lifestyle as the singer herself explain to the bbc, can also be like show, like trashy just like a pack of segs and a bit lighter? yes. >> like a strappy white top? >> yeah. was a yeah that's like kind of all you know, is a person who was like you know, a little bit messy, but very much self-aware and does who they, what they want to do and you have the opportunity to be who you want to be. there's even a brat color, a kind of lime green and kamala harris's camp has embraced all of it. the camila hq account on x now has a background photo in that color and the vice president's name in the same font style as the one on charli xcx's album. this as the internet is now inundated with coconut means they've spiked since president biden announced he was leaving the race, but have been popular on social media since harris let's made this remark at an event last year, my mother used to, she would give us a hard time sometimes and she would say to us, i don't know what's wrong with you. young

earlier this week the essex pop star, charli xcx became involved in the campaign as they rebranded their the same album has been nominated for the mercury prize. it goes up against lives outgrown, the first solo album from beth gibbons. 20 years after she won the mercury music prize with portis head. other returning nominees include korine bailey rae. the singer—songwriter berwyn, and the rapper here, all albums that represent gleams of black identity in the uk. i think everybody stories need to be talked about in music and making this record i thought, is this universal enough? but it is, the story of people's triumph and hope and despair, the stories that are hidden and the stories raised that need to be told. the last dinner party are one of a record eight the last dinner party are one of a record eight female acts nominated for the prize, and also in the running are the singer song writer cat burns and this irish country artist cmat. this list is really promising and really heartening. the most number of female nominees ever. it makes sense because we made the best albums this year.

the meme-ification of the harris campaign went into overdrive sunday when singer charli xcx tweeted,." and then the harris team responded by giving their official twitter profile a "brat" theme, leading many to now call kamala's run "the brat campaign." if you're a little confused about this brat thing, you're not as confused as cnn. >> i am supposed to say "that's brat." that is a cool thing. it has a color. chartreuse is the color, and kamala harris has adopted that. but i have brought some notes, because i knew you would want a definition. okay, here we go. charli xcx, who i do know, quote, "brat: you're just that girl who is a little messy and likes to party. and maybe says some dumb things sometimes." end quote. >> stephen: because nothing says "i am hep to what's hip" like printing out a meme and putting on your reading glasses. do we have this? this just in. this just in. "according to my sources, the boyfriend is walking with his girlfriend, who is labeled 'healthy homemade dinner,' and he's distracted by another female in a red dress walking in the opposite direction labeled

charlie xcx. which i, by the way, know, wrote: brother is that same slightly eccentric girl who lovesamela, of course, is still that kind of girl, well , perhaps compared to biden, as for stupid things, then political strategists of the democratic party, apparently, are covering up the obvious with self-irony charis' weak point, culture is a reflection of our moment in time, and so is modern culture. the news is that young people are for trump by a large margin, despite the fact that it is young voters who are most likely to decide the outcome of the vote in swing states, which is why a candidate of balzac’s age is dressed up in a high school girl’s dress. young people use this music as a soundtrack for their videos and a lot of different memes, but now it's about kamela haris, her company is called brother. this is a very good decision because millions and tens of millions of voters will associate kamla haris with one of the brightest. at her first rally in her new status, haris made a brotherly promise to voters to deal with trump. i was the elected attorney general of california, a

the term was coined by pop star charli xcx, whose new album is called brat.en widely embraced, even inspiring this mural in san francisco. brat is defined as edgy and distinctive, with a carefree but polished look that stands out yesterday. charli xcx wrote on social media kamala is brat and her fans then went so crazy for it that kamala's campaign changed her page to match the album. like the same stylistics, same font, same color, so yeah. so kamala is brat. leanne, i think you're hipper than the rest of us. so explain this. what do you think about it? >> well, you know, leave it up to the brits to come up with this new term. and we're not talking about the brat pack. the rat pack. remember that? yeah, well, i think you know, her campaign moved very quickly to sort of be trendy and appeal to a younger voter. yeah. and something that, you know, they weren't feeling the love for president biden. so yeah, it's sort of interesting in terms of the timing. >> and it seems like coincidence, lisa. but obviously you want every voter you can get young or old, especia

is brat bret is the title of charli xcx's latest album, but also a trend where the word is used as anve to describe unapologetic it. girls and icons and the internet is now awash with coconut memes, a reference to harris poking fund at something her mother said to her when she was younger i don't know what's wrong with you. >> young people. you think you just fell out of a coconut tree all of this analysts say could give a critical early boost to the vice president's campaign. how my harris's allies have been preparing for this small moment for a while now. and now that it has happened, you are seeing them really turn up the energy kamala harris is launching a tiktok account could lead to accusations of hypocrisy since she is still part of an administration that signed a law in april that would ban tiktok in the u.s. >> unless it finds a new owner, tiktok is taking legal action now to prevent that from happening, pamela. >> thanks, brian. we'll be right back tv on the edge, moments that shaped our culture coming this fall on cnn for more than a decade. or sega has been trusted again a

we're going to explain all of that in a moment for you folks out there like me pop singer charli xcxalso entered the chat tweeting. camila is brat and if you're following along at home, that's actually a compliment. we'll get to that to the harris campaign, quick to capitalize updating its twitter homepage in the style of the singer's bratt album with the signature lime green. there including that signature color and joining us now, mariana per core ai, she's the director of communication for voters of tomorrow. it's a gen z lead non-profit organizing young people to vote. marianna, it goes without saying there's a lot of yelling when people out there that will be eligible to vote and who were not exactly enthusiastic for president biden i'm curious why you think that the vice president is having such success with them online because it really seems to have happened first pretty organically. >> yeah. so even for someone like me, i'm 20, this is the first election that i'm eligible eligible to vote in. and for young people like me, we've seen young people, gen z specifically turnout i

we've all seen the memes of kamala harris by that point and if you didn't know who charli xcx was before this week. now you certainly do. i think everyone knows what brad is or is trying to figure it out? they're wearing their lime green charli xcx is one of these new wave of gen z popstars, along with olivia rodrigo, and also chappell roan's. now olivia rodrigo this week, she did give her endorsement to kamala harris. there we see her in 2021 when she was visiting the white house to talk about vaccinations during the pandemic, she has almost 40 million followers on instagram. so that's a big deal and chappell roan's who is being described as the gen z is madonna. she is really on the up and up jake, one of her songs was set to a tiktok on camila hq from the official campaign now that tiktok is about to reach 45 million views. she has not given her endorsement though yet. we may add elizabeth powerful tech executives have traditionally been more favorable to trump this election, including billion billionaire elon musk and others today we should note that harris scored her own bag helicon

social media, where vice president kamala harris so far appears to be trending after pop artist charli xcx called harris the embodiment of brat's spirit. brat is the title of her latest album, hailed as a soundtrack for young feminists. harris's instagram account is on theme with brat neon green. >> if this idea of brat wasn't something that people could see in her, it wouldn't have become an internet sensation, right, that that same part of her that can go up onto a stage and give the anecdote about falling out of a coconut tree and giggle about it in the middle of her speech, that that energy, her willingness to do that is what makes her brat. >> harris gave the speech last year, referencing what her mother used to tell her. >> i don't know what's wrong with you young people. you think you just fell out of a coconut tree? >> the fact that these, memes are getting such positive engagement right now means that this is a conversation that young people are going to be having with each other. >> that's backed up by this political science professor. >> well, i think social media is definitely

lo que comenzó como un álbum de estudio titulado brett, de la cantante británica charlie xcx, ahora hades sociales se llenaron de memes y reacciones haciendo referencia al álbum verde brillante. brad y el equipo de marketing de campaña presidencial de harris está aprovechando toda la atención en línea. incluso cambiaron los encabezados de sus perfiles en redes sociales para que coincidan con el estético verde, algo que, según expertos, podría ser una buena táctica para conseguir el voto de la población más joven. si queremos llegar a los jóvenes, definitivamente tiktok. por eso es bien importante que las personas que manejan una campaña eh política, sobre todo en las redes sociales, sí se tiene que pensar cómo van a llegar a los jóvenes. aunque harris no ha sido nominada oficialmente, muchos legisladores están publicando sus respaldos con un emoji de coco y palmera. pero qué significa coconut tree? todo surge de este momento en un evento en la casa blanca el año pasado que se volvió viral el coco ahora es signo para quienes apoyan a quienes están en contra de quien posiblemente pueda s

so "brat summer" is all about charli xcx, who's a british pop star, and she's got an album out callede saying that some of kamala harris's stuff kind of aligns with some of the stuff she talks about in her songs, and so they've accepted kamala harris as a brat, to quote, and all of that has just absolutely taken social media by storm. and what strikes me is that that really can't have cost very much money. i mean, it costs a bit of money now if you decide you want to, "0h, right, let's, like, kind of push this on our own social media platforms "and let's reshare the memes "and let's create our own content." but broadly, this stuff is really, really cheap. it's like creating a banner on your profile on twitter or resharing a video that someone's just made at home. and that's obviously something that donald trump in particular has been very good at — kind of capitalising on these online fandoms, so to speak, who will create content in support of him, who will share it. and it's really, really cheap. i don't know what you think about that, sarah, in terms of where your money can and shou

but what we are seeing in the kamala harris case is the uk artist, actually, charli xcx, calling herd this whole meme culture of, kamala brat memes, which shows how much she has captured the culture and the youth here that they are taking something that may have been used historically to criticise or to satirise a political figure and they're using it to debunk myths about her, to make her cool, to show that she is included in their culture, so i think it is very interesting. and do you think they work? is there evidence? i think you worked with the democrats on the 2022 mid—term elections, you did a video with barack obama. did campaigning and memes make an impact there? absolutely, same as it does with any artform, like songs or back to the political cartoons. i think it's something that's relatable to people, they can immediately kind of get an idea of what it's about, they are entertained by that, they enjoy them, and it's something that the public can also make for themselves. there is not like a professional authority on meme making — anyone can do it, and that's what's fun abo

and perhaps most influential of all, congresswoman charli xcx, who tweeted "kamala is brat." can say that, because thanks to one of my writers, today, i learned how to do this. ♪ ♪ [clapping] yeah! [cheering] yeah! you saw that, right? might have to do it again. that's two dance breaks in one monologue! we are living through history, ladies and gentlemen. if elected in november, harris could be our first woman president and our first south asian president. [applause] this would also mean that, for the first time in history, instead of a first lady, the white house would have a first gentleman, doug emhoff. his motto? "be doug." the excitement is only beginning. since biden bowed out yesterday, democrats have raised over $100 million. in 24 hours! that's a lot of ka-moolah. the campaign is taking advantage of the moment. joe biden's online shop is now the harris victory fund. plus, the official website fetures all kamala merch. looks great, but they're missing one thing! where's my mug with doug? i want doug on a mug! i wanna chug-a-lug, to go glug glug on my doug mug! makes m

how much does it matter charlie xcx is saying kamala is brat? the weight we should attach to that when we're looking at the strength of these campaigns? >> i wouldse attach a lot to it. politics is information warfare, and we have been getting hammered. it's powered by fox news but there's a ton of right-wing influencers on facebook, particularly tiktok who are part of this maga culture that really dominates that platform. for the firstth time in this election with kamala harris we have a candidate that connects to the people who power the algorithms onr tiktok and instagram rooms. you are seeing organic content because it's so hard to reach people in this media environment. people who are watching my podcast are notmy watching your show. tiktok you cannot buy ads. it has to be organic, and the fact that's happeningic and people's algorithms pages are flooded with positive, funny, charming, culturally connective content about her is powerful because it lets people know her and engage with the process, which have been struggling with on our side

harris received a boost among the youth after singer charli xcx declared "kamala is brat."er a bunch of middle-aged news droops jumped on the trend, the music site pitchfork has declared "brat summer is dead." goodbye, brat summer. we hardly knew what ye meant. so now we say a fond farewell in dance. ♪ i will remember you will you remember me ♪ [cheering] ♪ don't let your life pass you by ♪ ♪ weep not for the memories ♪ [cheers and applause] the 2024 election has been plagued by a precedented amount of misinformation, which is why the role of journalists right now is so important. so i want to salute the associated press for their report yesterday. "jd vance did not have sex with a couch." there's a lot going on in that headline. let me break this down. yesterday, multiple social media accounts spread fake claims that in his book "hillbilly elegy," vance describes having sex with a couch. of course, this isn't our nation's first furniture sex political scandal. we all remember when bill clinton said this. >> i did not have sexual relations with that ottoman. >> stephen: the

caroline: charli xcx is brat. she is a new song that's all about brat summer.quick to laugh, who doesn't take herself too seriously but goes deep, perhaps enjoys partying slightly. why layla has this been a lexicon that will be different to mobilize gen z? to the point we perhaps see trump to his campaign's efforts thinking about crypto as a way to link to millennial or younger voters. layla: the race really was about age for months and ultimately president biden made his decision in large part because of this push to move to generational future that he just wasn't representing and so the willingness to lean in to something that appeal so deeply to young people or at least speaks their language i think is -- people feel heard, they feel excited and i cannot predict the future or tell you how it will affect the vice president's campaign in part because we don't have an official nominee until the convention next month. but i think one thing to know is savvy social media users still need to use another phrase of the moment, live in the context. gen z might have an

harris leaning into the cultural storm of her image, embracing brat, a term stemming from pop artist charli xcxlbum "brat" has become aesthetic in and of itself, representing those who are unapologetically themselves. the singer posted on x, kamala is "brat" prompting fans to jump on the harris bandwagon. >> want to understand rat, you can be the president of the united states. ♪ ♪ >> she is authentically in a weird way connecting to gen z. >> the harris campaign seizing the moment, adopting the album signature neon green color, democrats hoping that the buzz will translate into votes. guys, we need a feminine phenomenon, that's what i've been learning from my younger folk these days but jessica, what do you make of this energy that we are feeling around kamala harris and this is just days, 48 hours after biden's endorsement? >> just 48 hours, and the outpouring of energy, the excitement around the vice president is incredible. emily's list, the organization i lead has been with the vice president throughout her career so it's really gratifying to get to see people rally around a leader that we

last week, we were talking about kamala's brat and charlie xcx, and now the juxtaposition, that's showing the broad coalition and the excitement and this cultural moment that quite frankly i haven't seen in our politics since 2008 when president obama was running. and people were really excited. especially the belief that he could win. and i think that's showing us that folks are saying, oh, my goodness, she can wait. hotties for harris, the campaign hasn't adopted it yet, but i'm telling them, adopt it. it t-shirts are out there, the swifties are already organizing. it's a cultural moment that we're going to have to continue this momentum through election day, but we're in the middle of a sprint. we have less than 100 days. we actually can continue this momentum moving forward. >> 98 days, and sarah, this is the thing that i think the republican party is going to struggle with. republican voters tend to be older. they tend to be whiter, but again, not all the white guys are there, because all the white guys were white guys for harris last night, a lot of ofolks there, but they tend to be
