I introduce the concept of the necro-president as a figure and condition that emerges at the intersection of institutional decay, symbolic death, and political myth. Framed through the 2024 presidential election, I argue that Joseph R. Biden functions as entropy, a spectral embodiment of decline, while Donald J. Trump operates as necro-sovereign. This figure reclaims decay through spectacle and mythic restoration. Drawing from the republican tradition’s concern with fragility and collapse, I show how the presidency has shifted from a symbol of vitality to a vessel of exhaustion. The necro-president offers a lens for theorizing the unraveling of symbolic authority and the transformation of executive power during political decline.
