Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, has been accused of delivering "word salads" during her infrequent media appearances, a claim made by Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance.
Vance humorously suggested that each time Harris speaks publicly, the Trump campaign gains an additional 100,000 votes. This comment was made during a rally in Leesport, Pennsylvania, in response to a question about Harris's tendency to avoid media interviews.
According to The New York Post, Harris's most recent public speaking misstep occurred during a virtual rally hosted by Oprah Winfrey. Her concluding two-minute monologue left many listeners, including Winfrey herself, perplexed. Online commentators noted that the influential media figure appeared "lost" and "unimpressed" by Harris's speech.
Harris's speech included the following: We love our country. I love our country. I know we all do, thats why everybodys here right now. We love our country. We we take pride in the privilege of being American and this is a moment where we can and must come together as Americans, understanding we have so much more in common than what separates us.
Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, also criticized Harris's unusual remarks at the celebrity rally. Speaking to a crowd of 10,000 supporters in Wilmington, North Carolina, Trump said, Kamala was a total disaster yesterday, and at every other interview its been a freefall . She just cant do an interview.
Harris's first solo media interview since becoming the Democratic vice presidential nominee was with an ABC affiliate last week. Critics argue that she seemed to evade questions and offered little of substance. During the interview with anchor Brian Taff of Philadelphia-based Action News 6, Harris embarked on a series of awkward rants.
In response to Taff's initial question about how she would reduce prices in the U.S., Harris said, Well, Ill start with this: I grew up as a middle-class kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard. She then shifted the conversation away from the economy, stating, I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who were very proud of their lawn. You know? And, um, and I was raised to believe and to know that all people deserve dignity.
Rather than addressing inflation, Harris emphasized her proposed policy to offer a $25,000 handout to new homeowners and tax breaks to new small businesses. This avoidance of direct answers and tendency to deliver confusing speeches has left many questioning her ability to effectively communicate her policies and plans to the American public.
