Her tone remained steadfast, but the content of the message left many confused. Harris tried to draw a link between the struggles faced by her supporters and the broader “promise of America,” adding, “The light of America’s promise will burn bright as long as we never give up and we keep fighting. And the fight that fueled our campaign, a fight for freedom and opportunity, that did not end on November 5th. A fight for the dignity of all people receive the promise of America? No. A fight that is about a fight for the ideals of our nation, the ideals that reflect the promise of America, that fight’s not over. So look, we still have a lot to fight for, okay?”
Despite the earnestness of her words, the video quickly became a topic of ridicule on social media, with many commenting on Harris’ unusual tone and presence. Several users noted that something seemed “off” about the video, with reactions ranging from confusion to outright criticism.
Kimberly Ross, a contributor to the DC Examiner, was blunt in her assessment: “Is this a…joke? It’s a terrible video. Yikes.”
Fox News contributor Joe Concha also weighed in, remarking, “I’m not sure you guys want to be amplifying this. There’s something, ummmm, off with the vice president.”
Mary Katharine Ham, a columnist for OutKick, had a more humorous take, writing, “When you hand your phone to someone to police your social media posts when y’all go hard, you wanna hand it to someone who likes you.”
Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project, couldn’t help but express his disbelief: “They wouldn’t let her go on @joerogan but they let her do this,” he posted, followed by a facepalm emoji.
The video’s bizarre quality prompted Atlantic contributing writer Tyler Austin Harper to question its purpose: “Who thought this was a good idea? Who is this for? What is this for? What is she even saying? Once again, I will reiterate that we are ruled by imbeciles.”

National Review’s Jim Geraghty also joined the criticism, pointing out the oddity of Harris’ central message: “Besides the, er, vibe of flammability, the message ‘don’t let anyone take your power from you’ is perhaps less than ideal as a theme during the peaceful transfer of power.”
Some on social media even speculated that Harris may have been intoxicated during the video. Though this claim is unverified, it added to the growing sense of unease surrounding the appearance.
Fox News reported that the video was part of a call Harris had with donors and volunteers earlier in the day. During the conversation, she addressed the election outcome, which she acknowledged was a disappointment. “The outcome of this election obviously is not what we wanted. It is not what we worked so hard for. But I am proud of the race we ran, and your role in this was critical. What we did in 107 days was unprecedented,” Harris said, referencing her campaign’s intense push in the final stretch leading up to the election.
The video’s release left many questioning not just the message, but the effectiveness of the strategy behind it. While Harris’ words were meant to energize her base, the delivery seemed to have the opposite effect, with critics calling it awkward, poorly timed, and ultimately ineffective.
