The election symbol of the US Democratic Party has been changed to a rat within the Google search knowledge panel that shows when searching for the party’s name, instead of the usual donkey-themed one. The new rat-themed symbol is now automatically loaded from a post made by a now-banned user on a history forum in January. The Republican Party symbol remains unchanged for now but does display the changed Democratic Party symbol in the bottom of their knowledge panel. Google has reached out to Google for comment but had not heard back.
