A clip of Vice President Kamala Harris commenting on her 2024 presidential election defeat has gone viral on social media.
Earlier this month, Harris lost the election to her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump who won the Electoral College, the popular vote and the seven battleground states that were widely expected to decide the race.
On Tuesday, the Democrat party’s account on X, formerly Twitter posted a 28-second clip taken from a call Harris made to thank donors. The vice president said on the call: “I just have to remind you: Don’t you ever let anybody take your power from you. You have the same power that you did before November 5, and you have the same purpose that you did. And you have the same ability to engage and inspire, so don’t ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.”
Several commentators have discussed Harris’ appearance in the video and questioned why it was released. The video has since gone viral, receiving more than 8.4 million views, 6,400 reposts and 11,000 likes.
Ben Williamson, a communications specialist who previously worked in the Trump White House, reposted the clip and wrote in the caption, “I’d read a 5,000 word article on how this got approved for release.”
