Vice President Kamala Harris’ first video message to her supporters following the recent election has left many social media users bewildered. Released via the Democratic Party’s official X account, the video features Harris addressing those disheartened by the election results.
“I just have to remind you, don’t let anybody take your power from you. You have the same power that you did before Nov. 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,” Harris stated, attempting to rally her base.
However, the response on X was far from supportive. Many users noted that there was something distinctly “off” about the vice president, leading to widespread surprise that the video was even shared publicly.
DC Examiner contributor Kimberly Ross bluntly remarked, “Is this a…joke? It’s a terrible video. Yikes.”

Fox News contributor Joe Concha added, “I’m not sure you guys want to be amplifying this. There’s something, ummmm, off with the vice president.”

OutKick columnist Mary Katharine Ham quipped, “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.”
National Review Online writer Dan McLaughlin weighed in, stating, “No video like this would ever have been released by a politician who is not hated by her staff.”
The Republican Committee of Prince William County succinctly summarized the sentiment with, “The joy is gone.”
Former Trump White House advisor Ben Williamson expressed curiosity about the decision-making process behind the video, saying, “I’d read a 5,000 word article on how this got approved for release.”
American Principles Project president Terry Schilling humorously noted, “They wouldn’t let her go on @joerogan but they let her do this,” accompanied by a facepalm emoji.

Atlantic contributing writer Tyler Austin Harper posed a series of questions, “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 senior political correspondent Jim Geraghty pointed out the irony in Harris’ message, stating, “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.”
The video reportedly stemmed from a call Harris had with donors and volunteers, where she addressed her election loss for the first time since conceding to President-elect Donald Trump. In her remarks, she acknowledged the disappointment, saying, “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.”
Since the election, Harris has largely remained out of the public eye, reportedly vacationing in Hawaii with her husband, Doug Emhoff.
