So, she is just like Biden. Maybe even worse.
During a recent rally in Michigan, Vice President Kamala Harris faced an embarrassing moment that quickly caught the attention of voters and pundits alike. While delivering her speech, a noticeable teleprompter glitch led her to repetitively state “32 days,” referencing the countdown to Election Day on November 5. This slip not only highlighted a potential vulnerability in her public speaking abilities but also sparked a flurry of reactions on social media.
In her address, Harris aimed to criticize Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance regarding their records in the manufacturing sector. She labeled Trump as “one of the biggest losers of manufacturing jobs in American history.” However, as she attempted to emphasize the urgency of the upcoming election, her repetition of “32 days” left many questioning her command of the situation. Critics quickly seized upon the incident, with one post from the Trump War Room highlighting how the vice president seemed lost without her teleprompter.
In stark contrast, Donald Trump has made it a point to showcase his ability to speak extemporaneously, proudly declaring, “Isn’t it nice, by the way, to have a president who doesn’t need a teleprompter?” His confidence in addressing crowds without scripted lines sets a tone that resonates with many Republican voters, who appreciate authenticity and straightforwardness.
JD Vance, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, has also positioned himself as a candidate who values unscripted speech. During a rally in Pennsylvania, he boldly asserted, “Ma’am, I don’t need a teleprompter; I actually have thoughts in my head, unlike Kamala Harris.” However, Vance’s own slip—confusing a crucial location in Afghanistan with a famous London street—underscored that even the most confident can falter.
The juxtaposition of Harris’s reliance on a teleprompter against Trump’s and Vance’s self-assuredness raises important questions about leadership and preparedness as we approach the election. Voters are looking for candidates who not only have the right policies but can also communicate effectively without the crutch of scripted lines. As the race tightens, it’s clear that these moments will resonate with the electorate, influencing their choices in the coming weeks.
