Vice President Kamala Harris found herself in an awkward situation when her teleprompter seemed to malfunction during her speech at a Michigan campaign rally. The video of the incident quickly gained traction on social media platforms. As she started speaking in Flint on Friday, Harris repeatedly emphasized that there were “32 days” until the election while chuckling.
So 32 days… 32 days… Okay. We got some business to do. We got some business to do… All right,” the Democrat said. 32 days… and we know we will do it, and, and this is gonna be a very tight race until the very end.
Former President Donald Trump’s War Room criticized the vice president’s response in an X post, calling it “humiliating.” They claimed that she had “absolutely no idea what to do or say” without her teleprompter. Political strategist Greg Price also highlighted the awkwardness of the situation, stating that the vice president “turned into a floundering mess until [the teleprompter] came back on.
You can literally tell the moment it happened lmfao,” he added.
This incident also inspired a parody by cartoonist Rob Larrikin, who compared Harris’s speech pattern to that of a drug user during the teleprompter glitch. The humorous take on the event further fueled discussions on social media about the vice president’s preparedness and the reliance on teleprompters for political speeches.
