In an unprecedented show of bipartisan unity, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have joined forces to demand the inclusion of a new frontrunner in their upcoming debate: ‘None of the Above.’ This mysterious candidate, whose popularity has surged in recent polls, seems to resonate deeply with an American public exhausted by traditional political choices.

“We need to give the American people what they want,” Biden announced at a press conference, squinting at his notes. “If they want ‘None of the Above,’ then by golly, ‘None of the Above’ should have a podium right next to mine.”

Trump, never one to be outdone, quickly echoed the sentiment from his Mar-a-Lago resort. “You know, a lot of people are saying ‘None of the Above’ is doing a tremendous job. A fantastic job. Maybe the best job ever done by a candidate,” he declared, adding, “Frankly, some people are saying ‘None of the Above’ is more popular than Sleepy Joe and Crooked Hillary combined.” But also, they say not as good as me. Not as good at all. But okay.

Political analysts are baffled by the rise of ‘None of the Above,’ a candidate who has yet to speak a word, propose a policy, or even make a public appearance. Some speculate that ‘None of the Above’ represents a radical departure from the norm, embodying the ultimate protest vote against a system perceived as broken.

Meanwhile, social media is ablaze with speculation about the enigmatic candidate. Memes featuring an empty suit at a debate podium have gone viral, with captions like, “Finally, a candidate who says what we’re all thinking!” and “The silent majority speaks at last!”

However, not everyone is thrilled about the prospect. The Commission on Presidential Debates has expressed concern about logistical challenges. “It’s hard to put an empty chair on stage and call it a candidate,” an anonymous source admitted. “But if this is what democracy looks like in 2024, who are we to argue?”

As the debate date approaches, both Biden and Trump are preparing for the unprecedented challenge of debating an opponent who literally cannot be rebutted. “I think I can handle ‘None of the Above’,” Biden quipped. “I’ve been dealing with empty promises my whole career.”

Trump, on the other hand, seems confident as ever. “I’ve debated the best, the brightest, and the biggest losers. ‘None of the Above’ is going to be a piece of cake,” he boasted. “And believe me, I know cake.”

Only time will tell how ‘None of the Above’ will perform under the bright lights of the debate stage. But one thing is certain: in a political landscape where anything can happen, the silent candidate might just have the loudest voice of all.
