Vice President Kamala Harris' message to supporters following the election has ignited a flurry of reactions on social media. In a video shared by the Democratic Party on X (formerly Twitter), Harris urged her followers not to be discouraged by the results. "Don’t let anybody take your power from you," she stated, emphasizing that their influence and purpose remain unchanged.
Harris' delivery and the decision to share the video drew considerable commentary. Several observers noted a perceived awkwardness in her demeanor, with some questioning the wisdom of releasing the footage. Kimberly Ross, a contributor to the DC Examiner, called the video "terrible." Fox News contributor Joe Concha expressed surprise that it was amplified, suggesting something seemed "off" with the Vice President. Other commentators, including OutKick columnist Mary Katharine Ham and National Review writer Dan McLaughlin, offered their own interpretations of the message and its implications.
The video reportedly originated from a call Harris conducted with donors and volunteers, marking her first public address since conceding the election to President-elect Donald Trump. In the call, she acknowledged the disappointing outcome while expressing pride in the campaign's efforts. Harris stated, "The outcome of this election obviously is not what we wanted… But I am proud of the race we ran." Since the election, Harris has maintained a relatively low profile, recently vacationing in Hawaii with Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.
