On Thursday, President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID. Biden “will isolate at the White House and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Thursday.
On Twitter, people have already begun making jokes about Vice President Kamala Harris taking over as president, given her famed internet reputation of girlbossing and waiting in the wings while "getting silk presses."
Here's a round-up of the best.

PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS: And we mourn President Biden. We show our mourning through engaging in the activities, things that Americans do when we show our grief. We do those things to mourn and also to celebrate his life. All of that, and, yes, and that's what we have to consider.
