Harris Gives Surprise Speech At DNC, Slammed For Endlessly Laughing

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, made an unexpected appearance at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night. She took the stage to express her gratitude to President Joe Biden, who was reportedly forced out of the presidential race a month ago.

“This is going to be a great week, and I want to kick us off by celebrating our incredible President Joe Biden, who will be speaking later tonight. Joe, thank you for your historic leadership, for your lifetime of service to our nation, and for all you will continue to do, we are forever grateful to you. Thank you, Joe,” Harris stated.

Looking out at the crowd, Harris said, “I see the beauty of our great nation. People from every corner of our country and every walk of life are here united by our shared vision for the future of our country, and this November, we will come together and declare with one voice, as one people, we are moving forward.”

“With optimism, hope, and faith, so guided by our love of country, knowing we all have so much more in common than what separates us, let us fight for the ideals we hold dear, and let us always remember when we fight, we win,” she continued.

However, many on X, previously known as Twitter, criticized Harris, calling her “weird” and mocking her for laughing frequently during the speech.

Recent polling data has not been favorable to Harris, as three surveys indicate her declining support.

In Pennsylvania, a critical swing state, two polls show Harris trailing former President Donald Trump. A third poll places her behind the Republican presidential candidate.

Polls conducted by Cygnal and Emerson College among potential voters in Pennsylvania show Trump leading by one point in the state, which holds 19 Electoral College votes.

Another poll from the Napolitan News Service also gave Trump a one-point lead nationwide.

Since Joe Biden exited the race and endorsed Harris on July 21, she quickly emerged as the Democratic Party’s leading candidate for the presidency. Initially, this provided a noticeable boost in polls for the Democrats.

In over a dozen national polls, Harris outperformed Trump, making her the favored candidate to win in November according to many major betting platforms.

“Between August 12 and 14, RMG Research polled 2,708 likely voters across the United States for Napolitan News Service, which found Trump leading Harris by 46 percent to 45 percent. When undecided voters leaning one way were included, Trump’s margin extended to 49 percent against 47 percent, compared to the last RMG poll a week ago, which put both candidates on 49 percent,” Newsweek reported.

“A Cygnal poll of 800 likely voters in Pennsylvania, conducted on August 14-15, found 44 percent would back Trump in a presidential contest versus 43 percent for Harris and 5 percent for independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Trump increased his polling by 2 points since the last Cygnal survey in July, while Kennedy saw his support fall by 4 points,” the outlet added.

In the Cygnal poll, Trump held a slight edge over Harris, with 49% of the vote compared to Harris’s 48%. When undecided voters leaning toward a candidate were factored in, Trump’s lead extended to 51% versus 49% for Harris.

When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was considered, Harris and Trump were evenly matched at 47%, with Kennedy capturing 3% of the vote.

The poll also revealed that voters under 40 were more inclined to support Harris than Trump (61% to 36%), while Trump had a significant advantage among voters aged 50 to 69 (57%).

Among Protestant voters, Trump led with 58% compared to Harris’s 40%, and among Catholic voters, Trump was ahead with 60% to 39%.

A large majority of atheist and agnostic voters (84%) preferred Harris, with just 13% supporting Trump, and 56% of voters who didn’t specify a religion also favored Harris over Trump’s 39%.
