A person with a blurred face is shown with various news images spinning around their head against a bright blue background. The images include Kamala Harris speaking at a podium, a CNN presidential debate screen showing Joe Biden and Donald Trump, an article headline that reads 'George Clooney: I Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee,' a close-up of Hulk Hogan speaking at a microphone, and Donald Trump with his fist in the air after a gunman attempted to assassinate him.
