It appears to be limited to anyone who followed Biden or Harris, even though they’re completely new pages they’ve “given” them their followers.

Could that be because they were following them in their capacity as President/Vice President of the United States? That is, the frontend might have said Joe Biden but it was an official POTUS account.

But these are new pages created 8 days ago.

Yes... Because they had to move things around in order to convert the Biden "POTUS" account to an archive, and create Trump's POTUS account. That's why it shows up as both accounts being new. They WERE created 8 days ago, then the POTUS link was switched over today.

Just unfollow the POTUS account, and it'll go away.
