Former Vice President Kamala Harris is set to deliver her most extensive public remarks since losing to President Trump later this week – but social media users are already roasting the failed 2024 Democratic presidential candidate’s return to the political stage.
Harris, 60, was announced Monday as the keynote speaker for Emerge America’s 20th anniversary gala, which will take place Wednesday night in San Francisco.
The former vice president is expected to “address the first 100 days of the Trump administration” in remarks as speculation swirls about her political future.
Ticket packages for the Emerge America fundraiser, a group that trains Democratic women to run for office, range from $50,000 for top-level sponsorship to $250 for a general admission seat.
A livestream-only “digital ticket” will set you back $25, according to the group’s website.
Ahead of her return to the limelight, Harris, well known for her propensity to spew “word salad” at public events, is already being ridiculed on X.
“Is there any report about which accent she will use?” one user tweeted, referring to the way on the campaign trail Harris would alter her tone of voice and manner of speaking depending on who her audience was.
“Get ready to be unburdened by what has been again,” Jerry Pelusio wrote on X.
“When you fire a head coach the last person you want to hear from is a fired head coach,” Mike Lester chimed in.
“Can’t wait to hear more about the duality of Democracy in this moment,” entrepreneur Steve Mur said in a social media post, mocking Harris’s rhetoric on the campaign trail.
Trump supporter Tom Johnson joked that Harris’s “speech writers are busy right now putting cackles and word salad together and some gibberish about her being middle class and Trump being a dictator.”
“[T]his should be really good! Good in terms of comedy,” Johnson wrote on X.
Harris is widely assumed to be deciding between running for California governor in 2026 and seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028.
The former veep has reportedly told allies she will make a decision about what she wants to do by the end of this summer, but has insisted, as Politico quoted her saying last month, “I’m staying in this fight.”
