Seth Meyers on his Thanksgiving show Thursday joked about what President Joe Biden has been up to while Democrats “are still sniping back and forth over what went wrong” with their nominee Kamala Harris’ 2024 election loss to President-elect Donald Trump.
Biden “was so depressed he disappeared into the Amazon rainforest never to be seen or heard from again,” cracked Meyers, referring to the outgoing POTUS’ trip to Brazil earlier this month and that moment he walked away from the lectern, seemingly into the jungle.
“Things went so bad for Democrats, Biden did the Homer Simpson meme!” Meyers added, airing footage of Biden alongside that classic moment from the animated comedy in which the Simpson patriarch steps back into a hedge.
Meyers also riffed on the infighting that’s reportedly plaguing Trump’s transition team as allies and sycophants jostle for positions and mocked the president-elect’s claim that his political movement is based on love.
