The Democratic Party drew criticism for an Easter-themed social media post featuring former President Barack Obama without mentioning or including images of current President Joe Biden. The omission sparked reactions online, with many questioning why the post appeared to invoke nostalgia for the Obama White House and bypassed Biden's presidency.
The Democratic Party is facing criticism after it posted an Easter -themed message about 'Better times at the White House' featuring former President Barack Obama , while leaving out former President Joe Biden .
The post, published Saturday by the official Democratic Party X account, shows Obama from behind standing beside a person in an Easter Bunny costume with the Washington Monument in the background. The caption reads, 'Better times at the White House.' Biden is not pictured or mentioned in the post, and much of the reaction centered on that omission. Social media users wondered why the account appeared to invoke nostalgia for the Obama White House while bypassing Biden’s presidency altogether. 'Why are y’all skipping over Biden?' Christian influencer Renatta Oxendine wrote in reply, as other users similarly questioned why Democrats used an image tied to Obama rather than the party’s most recent president. NEWSOM OFFICE CALLED OUT FOR SKIPPING BIDEN IN POST MISSING OBAMA AS PAST PRESIDENT WITH ‘FUNCTIONING BRAIN’ Fox News Digital columnist David Marcus said the post was a 'brutal smack down of Joe Biden.' The reaction followed a similar controversy involving Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office, which was criticized after posting a message encouraging users to repost 'if you miss having a President with a functioning brain,' alongside an image of former President Barack Obama.

Critics on social media pointed out the absence, with conservative podcaster Stephen L. Miller writing, 'They skipped someone,' while others shared commentary questioning the omission. The Republican Party’s official account also weighed in, resurfacing a prior post from Newsom’s press office that read, 'Happy birthday, President @JoeBiden! We miss having a president who has physical stamina — and a functioning brain.' The GOP account added, 'We know you ‘can’t read’ but remember posting this?'

Social media reactions continue to circulate, with users offering varying interpretations of the post’s intent and timing, as well as drawing comparisons to other recent political messaging controversies. The post came as the Supreme Court hears arguments in a major case tied to birthright citizenship, where justices have questioned efforts to reinterpret the 14th Amendment and potentially limit automatic citizenship.
