Viral Video Featuring Kamala Harris and Michelle Obama Raises Eyebrows

Vice President Kamala Harris recently appeared with former First Lady Michelle Obama in a video on social media, where both urged Americans to participate in voting—implicitly, for Harris.

Some online viewers commented that the video came across as awkward due to the noticeable height difference, with Obama “towering over” Harris.

Users on social media were quick to comment on the visual contrast.

Other users claimed they had already cast their ballots but chose Harris’s GOP opponent, former President Donald Trump.

As Harris's campaign appears to struggle with diminishing enthusiasm, fear is reportedly setting in among campaign members. High-profile Democratic officials and left-leaning media outlets have started openly acknowledging the challenges Harris faces as the election season draws to a close.

This shift in sentiment follows weeks of unfavorable media coverage, tough interviews, and developments favoring Trump. Most recently, his three-hour interview with top podcaster Joe Rogan, viewed over 37 million times as of this writing, has gained significant traction.

A Democratic strategist acknowledged to The Hill: “Yes, it’s close, but are things trending our way? No. And no one wants to openly admit that. Could we still win? Maybe. Should anyone be even slightly optimistic right now? No.”

While some strategists have noted Harris’s risky moves—such as collaborating with Liz Cheney and holding rallies in conservative Texas—the outlook remains grim. One strategist bluntly remarked, “If this is a vibe election, the current vibes ain’t great.”

Harris’s team sought to make headway with an exclusive town hall in Pennsylvania hosted by CNN’s Anderson Cooper, substituting a debate Trump had declined. But Harris’s struggle to deliver clear policy answers—domestic or international—and her characteristic lengthy replies drew criticism, even from CNN’s left-leaning analysts, according to DailyMail.com.

Veteran Democratic strategist David Axelrod, who helped elect Barack Obama and served as his senior adviser, described Harris’s responses as “word salad city.”

CNN commentator and former Obama official Van Jones echoed Axelrod’s frustrations, admitting, “The word salad stuff gets on my nerves,” and added, “I think some of the evasions are not necessary.”

CNN's Dana Bash commented on Harris’s performance, saying, “if her goal was to close the deal, they’re not sure she did that.”

Harris’s responses even frustrated fellow Democrats, particularly when she sided with Trump’s former Chief of Staff John Kelly, who reiterated that Trump sought to govern as a “fascist,” though Kelly worked with Trump until being dismissed.

Some Democrats, like New York City Mayor Eric Adams, criticized Harris’s use of such severe language.

“I have had those comments hurled at me by some political leaders in the city; my answer is ‘No,’” Adams remarked Friday when asked about those accusations against Trump, as reported by the New York Post.

Reflecting on his own perspective, Adams, a moderate Democrat currently facing federal corruption charges, stated, “I know what Hitler has done, and I know what a fascist regime looks like. I think, as I have called for over and over again, that the level of conversation, I think we can all dial down the temperature.”
