Republicans accuse Kamala Harris of ‘faking’ voter appeal

Kamala Harris has been accused by Republicans of faking a telephone conversation with a voter.

Marjorie Taylor Greene posted a video to X (formerly Twitter) of the Democratic candidate speaking to a voter and then showing her phone to a small audience. The video shows how the phone displays the camera function.

The Georgia representative wrote, “Everything about Kamala Harris is FAKE! She can’t even make a phone call without lying. What a joke!”

Laura Loomer, the conservative activist and commentator, also posted the clip, saying: “Today @KamalaHarris pretended to be on the phone with a voter. She turned the phone over and you can clearly see she was faking the call because the camera app is open. All she does is LIE.

Newsweek reached out to the Harris campaign for comment Tuesday evening. Newsweek has been unable to verify the allegation.

Benny Johnson, a conservative political commentator, also shared the clip, writing: “Kamala exposed herself to ‘fake talk’ to a voter on the phone when she showed the camera app open on the screen.”

Eric Trump, the son of Harris’ rival for president, Donald Trump, shared Johnson’s post with the comment: “Unreal!”

In a divided America, voters went to the polls on Tuesday to make a decisive choice between two starkly different visions of the country’s future, as the presidential race between Trump and Harris reached its climax.

With polls in Georgia — a crucial battleground state among several other states — closed, voters face a crucial decision: return Trump to the White House, or make history by electing Harris as the first female president. Millions of Americans cast ballots on Election Day, adding to the 84 million who voted early, as they weighed two candidates with sharply contrasting temperaments and approaches to the country.

Early results showed predictable victories, with Trump securing Kentucky and Indiana while Harris took Vermont, highlighting the deep-seated partisan divide. But across the country, voters raised concerns that went beyond party lines: AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 110,000 voters, revealed that issues like the economy, immigration and the future of democracy loomed large, reflecting a nation tired of polarization and desire for change.

Despite some isolated reports of technical problems and long lines, Election Day went smoothly for most voters. Harris has pledged to work across party divides and tackle economic concerns and other pressing issues with a steady continuation of Biden’s policies, while Trump promised radical changes including sweeping tariffs, a massive overhaul of the federal workforce and an aggressive action against immigration.

The race revolved around seven swing states, including five that went to Biden in 2020 after Trump’s 2016 victories: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona and Georgia. Nevada and North Carolina were also hotly contested.

Trump, who cast his vote in Palm Beach, Florida, exuded confidence and told reporters he felt “very confident.” Harris, meanwhile, took to the airwaves in battleground states and gathered Democratic National Committee staffers in Washington, arriving with her signature snack, Doritos.

Harris greeted supporters and expressed optimism, telling a cheering crowd, “This truly represents the best of who we are.” When reporters asked her how she felt, she smiled, held up a phone and said, “I need to talk to voters.”
