Vice President Kamala Harris was just caught in an awkward moment during her final campaign push, supposedly making calls to “encourage voters.” But sharp-eyed viewers quickly noticed a major slip-up: her phone wasn’t even in call mode; instead, the screen showed her camera app. The clip, which was shown on CSPAN, has now gone viral, leaving many wondering if Harris’s “voter call” was just another staged campaign stunt.
During the segment, Harris supposedly receives a cheer-worthy commitment from the “voter” on the other end. She enthusiastically raises her phone to the room as the crowd cheers, but the screen gives it away—she’s not on a call at all.

This moment has sparked a wave of criticism online, with accusations that Harris was faking her final push for support. While some suggested she might’ve been in camera mode “by accident,” the setup just doesn’t add up for most viewers.
This moment comes hot on the heels of Harris’s “door-knocking” effort in Pennsylvania, which also raised eyebrows. One video even shows her instructing a family to “go back inside” so she could stage her own door knock.
After weeks of campaigning, it’s no surprise that both candidates are in a frenzy to get their message out. But these moments make it hard for Harris to escape the label of “inauthentic”—especially when voters are already on edge over election season.
