When Axios asked Sen. Tim Kaine's team for permission to use this photo, they excitedly said yes and wished us a "happy brat summer."
It's a reference to the viral memes recently embraced by Vice President Harris' campaign that are inspired by Charli XCX's neon green album cover, which features "brat" in lowercase black letters.
The pop singer, who has declared that "kamala IS brat," describes brat summer as including "a pack of cigs, a Bic lighter and a strappy white top with no bra."
The latest: Kaine, a non-Gen Z-er, tweeted Tuesday that he's learning what it means after his team hung up a brat-inspired paper with "Tim Kaine" written on it last month.
