A deflated-looking Vice President Kamala Harris reemerged on Tuesday, filming a quick video message for her supporters that was posted on the X account for the Democratic Party.
‘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 5th,’ she said, referencing the date of the presidential election that she lost to President-elect Donald Trump.
In the past three weeks, Trump has gotten his transition going by naming a flurry of Cabinet appointees.
Earlier Tuesday, his team announced they had ended a transition stalemate with the Biden White House.
Harris, in the meantime, had decamped to Hawaii for a post-election-loss vacation and then arrived in the Bay Area Monday to spend Thanksgiving break among family.
She was dressed in work-wear for the video in what appeared to be a living room and looked bleary-eyes as she delivered the 28-second message.
‘And you have the same purpose that you did. And you have the same ability to engage and inspire,’ she continued. ‘So don’t ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.’
It’s unclear what prompted the VP to deliver the pep talk, though online commenters suggested she wasn’t sober.
