Donald J Trump has pulled a historic victory becoming the 47th President of USA. Kamala Harris delivered her concession speech promising a peaceful transfer of power and expressing pride in the manner in which she ran her campaign.
Minutes before her concession speech, a squirrel was seen running across the podium. Netizens took to X (formerly Twitter) to post a video of the squirrel.

Many reacted, remembering Peanut, the pet Squirrel who was mercilessly taken away from its owner and euthanised by the state.
The spirit of Peanut came back for Kamala’s concession speech just to remind the Democrats not to ever mess with the squirrels again. 🐿️pic.twitter.com/MxALsv6anL

On 30 October, an orphaned squirrel named Peanut, who became a social media sensation, was euthanised by New York state officials after being seized from the home of his caretaker, Mark Longo. According to reports, New York officials raided Longo’s house and seized the squirrel along with a rescued raccoon named Fred. Both animals were euthanised on the same day they were taken from Longo, apparently to test if they had rabies.
The issue became a political issue ahead of elections with Donald Trump Jr, Elon Musk and several others slamming the tyranny of the state.
