Chadwick Boseman's final tweet before his untimely death in 2020 has resurfaced because it has a Kamala Harris connection. Back in August 2020, the late actor had given a shoutout to Kamala Harris for the US Presidential elections later that year.
The tweet now seems pertinent as US President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he was opting out of the presidential race and instead endorsing Vice President Harris as the potential substitute.
Since Biden's announcement, social media have been active with reactions, jokes and memes. Amid the sea of memes, the final tweet of Chadwick has resurfaced from August 2020. The actor had seemingly tweeted days before he died of colon cancer.

The tweet has a photo of him standing next to Kamala, who is hugging him. They twin in white – he's wearing a white T-shirt and she's dressed in a white T-shirt and blazer. In the background, one can see the text “Freedom for Immigrants!” written on a banner.
Chadwick's tweet states, “YES @KamalaHarris! (applause emojis) #WhenWeAllVote #Vote2020."
As the tweet resurfaced amid Kamala's potential nomination as a Democratcandidate for the upcoming elections, many X users reposted it and commented on it.
One fan wrote, "Do it for Chadwick Boseman; Do it for one of the best actors to ever win- Do it for T’Challa (his Black Panther character), if you have to.”
Another commented, “Wish you were here to see her become our first female President!"
Several Hollywood stars have welcomed Biden's decision to exit the race. A few weeks back, George Clooney wrote an op-edcalling for Biden to withdraw his candidature. Clooney argued that the party should pick a new nominee, saying the process would be “messy” but “wake up” voters in the party’s favour.
