Kamala Harris is not yet the Democratic Party's candidate for president but her status online is already clear: she is a meme.In the latest testament to her viral presence among Gen Z, British pop sensation Charli XCX name-checked her in a weekend tweet that called the vice president a "brat". And Harris' campaign is leaning into it.

Soon after the artist tweeted "kamala IS brat" on Sunday night - giving Harris the name of her latest album – the US vice president adopted the album's lime green aesthetic for her "Kamala HQ" account.

Brat, the singer has explained, is "that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and like maybe says some like dumb things sometimes, who like feels herself but then also like maybe has a breakdown ... It’s brat, you’re brat, that’s brat".

I’m sure her campaign staff won’t be embracing the idea she’s brat. Hasn’t she been through a crap ton of staff already leaving her in the past few years?

[Rastus]

I heard she's pretty good with these brats, too.

These are chaotic times — war in Russia and Israel, China showing some instability, the global economy on shaky ground, AI coming on fast and no one knows what that will really mean for us ...

We clearly need a President who is brat and who can say stupid stuff and have breakdowns.

[Gaffer]

Mistaking the meaning of brat for IDIOT. A complete moron.

[crusty old prospector]

Isn’t that a greasy sausage from up north?

[roving]

That’s not what I call her.

Like the '80s, a Valley Girl. Only thing is, she's a Bali/Bally Girl (India background). We can't allow her to become Prez, her speeches will be like you know, the thing.

[toddausauras]

Kamala is so GD annoying.

[chrisser]

I don’t know what Internet they’re on. Here in the real Internet, the word they’re looking for is airhead, or maybe hoe. Pick one and embrace it, losers.

Beat on the brat, beat on the brat with a baseball bat oh yeah...
