One fan replied with references to Rodrigo’s songs saying, “Good for her, because it’s ‘brutal out here.'”
“I love this. She’s friends with Maisy Biden & did a lot of GOTV work in 2020 [even] though she was only 17 and couldn’t vote. Thankfully she’s 18 now & on the Biden Harris train!” wrote one user.
Some commenters shouted out Biden using Rodrigo’s lyrics and referred to the young version of the president as a “hottie.”
