I’ve been interested in politics for as long as I can remember, pretty much since third grade when I met then First Lady Hillary Clinton at my mom’s work and asked her why she wasn’t president. Fast forward to 2016 and I was in Clinton’s Brooklyn, NY campaign office making calls to help elect the first female president. (We know how that went.) Part of wanting to be loud and proud for my candidate involves literally wearing their name on my sleeve but the options for political merch have been less-than-cool at best. It seems as if designers and brands and indie artists heard our cries and there’s actually some of the best Biden-Harris merchandise available now.
Look, I wasn’t expecting to be wearing a Joe Biden T-shirt right now. There’s a good chance you weren’t either. I worked hard going door-to-door in Los Angeles for Elizabeth Warren earlier this year. But Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will save (and expand on) the Affordable Care Act, ensure we keep our reproductive rights, finally do something about police reform, enact a plan to take on climate change and get us in a much better place with COVID-19—and that’s just the start. That’s pretty damn great.
Now that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are officially our next President and VP, it’s a good time for us all to come together for the Biden-Harris administration by wearing their names with pride. Luckily, there are some seriously cool tees, crop tops, sweatshirts, socks and more that will fit right into your stylish fall wardrobe. Shop some of my current favorites below.
