Week 4: Political Cartoon

Recently, the democratic race has been heating up. Many candidates have ended their campaigns while others have soured into popularity. After Super Tuesday, it became clear who the legitimate candidates for the nomination were. Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden are far ahead anyone else, and are practically the only ones left in the race. This was a surprise, as before the vote of South Carolina, Joe Biden was in a major slum, and his campaign looked to be on the downhill. After a great performance in South Carolina, Joe Biden’s campaign was propelled by the abundance of Endorsements by the nominees who were dropping out. I believe this is the very framework of the political cartoon, as Biden’s campaign was “jump started” by his endorsements. The speaker of the cartoon is Joe Biden, as he looks well and confident after his “jumpstart” in this cartoon. The occasion is the current democratic race, and Joe Biden’s current rise of popularity. The audience is the American people, as they are the ones who have truly propelled his campaign. Finally the purpose is to show the rebound Biden made from just a couple weeks ago, and to show how is new endorsements have helped his now thriving campaign.
