Washington, D.C., April 1, 2025—Whispers of a political earthquake are rippling through the digital sphere as rumors swirl that the Democratic Party is orchestrating a bold online campaign to resurrect a Harris/Obama ticket. The alleged goal? To counter what some are calling President Donald Trump’s “third term” and dismantle the influence of Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) within the federal government. If true, this move could signal a dramatic escalation in the already polarized political landscape.
The rumor, which first gained traction on X and fringe political blogs, suggests that Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Barack Obama are being positioned as a dream team to rally Democrats against Trump’s enduring dominance. Sources claim that party insiders see this pairing as a way to galvanize progressive voters and reclaim the White House in 2028—or sooner, should Trump’s current term face legal or political challenges. While neither Harris nor Obama has publicly confirmed these speculations, the buzz has ignited fierce debate online.
At the heart of this rumored strategy is a direct assault on Elon Musk, the tech titan who has become a linchpin in Trump’s administration. As head of DOGE, Musk has spearheaded aggressive cuts to federal spending and bureaucracy, earning both praise and ire. Critics argue that his outsized influence—coupled with his unapologetic support for Trump—has turned him into a lightning rod. The alleged Democratic plan reportedly includes a push to “expel” Musk and dismantle DOGE, framing them as threats to democratic norms and government stability.
Social media posts amplifying the Harris/Obama ticket have surged in recent days, with hashtags like #HarrisObama2028 and #ExpelMusk trending among left-leaning accounts. Some posts allege that Musk’s policies have destabilized key agencies, while others paint Trump’s reliance on him as evidence of an unconstitutional “third term” in spirit, given Trump’s prior two stints in office (2017-2021 and 2025-present). “This isn’t governance—it’s a Musk-Trump oligarchy,” one viral X post declared, racking up thousands of retweets.
The Trump camp has dismissed the rumors as “desperate fan fiction” from a flailing opposition. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fired back, saying, “The Democrats can dream up all the tickets they want—President Trump’s mandate is rock solid, and Elon’s making government work again.” Musk himself weighed in with characteristic flair, posting on X: “Expel me? Good luck—I’m just getting started.”
Political analysts remain skeptical of the rumor’s feasibility. A Harris/Obama ticket would face logistical hurdles—Obama’s two-term limit complicates his eligibility, though some speculate he could serve as a behind-the-scenes “co-president.” Still, the chatter underscores the Democrats’ urgency to regroup after recent electoral setbacks. Whether this is a coordinated push or mere online noise, it’s clear the party is searching for a counterpunch to Trump’s enduring grip on power—and Musk’s growing shadow over it.
As the rumor mill churns, one thing is certain: the battle lines for America’s future are being drawn, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Stay tuned—this could be the opening salvo in a political war unlike any other.
