Vance accuses Harris of pandering to southern crowd
SUMMARY
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Donald Trump’s running mate, criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for adopting a southern accent while speaking to a crowd in Atlanta, Georgia. Vance accused Harris of being inauthentic, saying, "She grew up in Vancouver. What the hell is going on here? She is not who she pretends to be." Harris, who is originally from California, reportedly used a southern drawl during her speech, stating, "You all helped us win in 2020 and we gonna do it again in 2024." Former President Trump echoed similar sentiments, suggesting Harris’s identity is being used for political convenience.
