Kamala Harris has found herself at the center of social media attention following a post-election video statement that has raised questions about her condition and the effectiveness of her campaign.
In the viral video, Harris appeared alongside Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on a call with staffers and donors following the results of the election.
The video was intended to thank supporters and reflect on the campaign’s efforts, but instead, it quickly garnered attention online for the vice president’s tired and worn-down appearance.

Some social media users speculated whether Harris might have been intoxicated, noting her slurred speech and disjointed remarks.

Why would the Democrats put this video out of a clearly drunk Kamala??
They want her career over.

During the call, Harris expressed gratitude for the hard work of her team and the support of the American people, despite the campaign’s disappointing outcome. “I am so grateful for you. And I’m so thankful to you. I’m thankful for your love of our country and your willingness to put the work into it,” Harris said. “I’m thankful for the faith that you put in me and Governor Walz and our team.”

She spoke about the importance of coalition-building, saying, “I know and believe that the best movements that are about progress in our country mean that it’s leaders that you, that we are dedicated to the coalition, to bringing people together that seemingly have nothing in common, but have everything in common.”
A particularly odd moment occurred when Harris boasted about the campaign’s impressive fundraising haul of $1.5 billion, claiming it was the most raised in presidential campaign history.

However, despite this massive sum, the Harris-Walz campaign ended up in significant debt, with reports showing a $20 million shortfall.
The money was spent on lavish campaign events, such as pre-election concerts and $100,000 single-use podcast sets.
“Because of your efforts, get this, we raised an historic $1.4 billion, almost $1.5 billion from grassroots supporters alone, the most in presidential campaign history,” Harris said during the call.

Despite the massive fundraising success, the campaign’s debts and inability to win key swing states contributed to its failure.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has since been grappling with layoffs and financial difficulties, with some of its staff members taking to social media to express frustration over the situation.
Criticism of Harris’s tone on the video call grew among Democrats, with some insiders remarking on how “self-congratulatory” the message came across.
Lindy Li, a member of the DNC National Finance Committee, noted, “She actually held two calls, one for her top donors and one for grassroots. I was speaking and texting with fellow attendees in the call, and we were amazed by how self-congratulatory the tone was…. The call was about 20, 30 minutes. I don’t recall anyone taking responsibility for the fact that we spent about $2 billion across the super PAC and the campaign and came up so significantly short.”
Following the loss, the DNC’s financial struggles deepened.
To try to address its significant debts, the DNC launched a GoFundMe campaign asking supporters to contribute funds to pay off the campaign’s deficits.

The video call, which has sparked discussion about Harris’s condition and the state of the campaign, also led to further finger-pointing within Democratic circles.
Despite the massive fundraising, the party’s inability to secure key victories in seven swing states became a significant concern.
Many Democrats are now grappling with the fallout from what they see as a failed strategy and are hoping to regroup in the coming months.

This is great news!
It couldn’t have happened to a more worthy political party that truly cares about its electorate, along with staunchly upholding the principles of freedom, liberty AND DeMockery for all. lol
Oh, please remember… …Kamala is NOT black American!
She’s Indian! Yet her Pajeet-American kin didn’t even claim her. lol
How shameful of her attempting to gain “street cred” as “black” by pursuing undergrad studies at the highly respected HBCU, Howard University. What a pathetic fraud!
