Kamala Harris' debate outfit ridiculed for resembling Quaker Oats mascot's attire

WASHINGTON, DC: Kamala Harris might be feeling pretty good about her recent debate performance against Donald Trump, especially considering it wasn’t the disaster that her boss President Joe Biden faced a couple of months ago.

However, the Internet seemed to focus on another aspect of the night, specifically, her choice of outfit.

On Tuesday, September 10, the vice president stepped onto the debate stage wearing a white top with a lavalliere neckline and a navy pantsuit. She accessorized with statement pearl earrings, which also spawned a bizarre conspiracy theory. 

It’s a professional look, sure, but some couldn’t help but notice an uncanny resemblance between Harris' outfit and the attire of the Quaker Oats mascot. 

Internet has a field day over Kamala Harris' debate night outfit

As soon as Kamala Harris appeared on screen, the jokes and memes began to fly—and it didn’t take long for the Quaker Oats mascot to start trending alongside the vice president. 

“Who wore it better? Kamala or Quaker man," one posted on X (formerly Twitter), complete with a side-by-side shot of Harris and the famous logo.

The post quickly gained traction, with others joining in on the fun.

One more wrote, "Kamala looks like the Quaker Oats guy, real talk," and another quipped, "Kamala thinks she’s slick with that outfit." 

A person expressed, "Kamala Harris really showed up to the debate dressed like the Quaker Oats guy and expected us not to notice? She’s got that ‘I sell oats for a living’ look down to a science. Maybe it’s time to debate a new stylist instead." 

"Look at the polls from the debate. Kamala didn’t win anything except looking like the Quaker man," remarked someone else. 

A possible Trump supporter joked, "Red my favorite color. Trump wearing red and Kamala looks like the front of my Quaker Oats box. Ik who I’m voting for!" 

Donald Trump weighs in on potential second debate

While Kamala Harris was being roasted for her "Quaker Oats-inspired look," Donald Trump was busy giving his take on the fiery presidential debate.

Appearing on Fox News' Fox & Friends on Wednesday, the former president said he thought he "did a great job" during the debate. The businessman-turned-politician also claimed that ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis were biased in Harris’s favor.

"It was three on one. It was a rigged deal, as I assumed it would be, because when you looked at the fact that they were correcting everything and not correcting with her," said Trump, going on to accuse Harris of lying "six or seven times" without being called out by the moderators, as per OK! Magazine.

"They’re dishonest. I think ABC took a big hit last night," added the MAGA spearhead, even going so far as to suggest that ABC News should lose its license over the way the moderators handled the debate.

But Trump wasn’t done tooting his own horn as he went on to say, "I’ve been told I’m a good debater. I think it was one of my better debates, maybe my best debate."

Following Tuesday night's event, the discussion about a possible second debate with Harris quickly became a hot topic. Trump claimed that Harris was pushing for a rematch "because the loser always asks for a rematch." He declared, "I won the debate. I don’t know if I want to do another debate."

However, Harris’s campaign had a different take on what transpired. They were quick to boast about her performance, with the vice president telling her supporters, "Today was a good day."

They were clearly gearing up for round two as Harris’s team called for a second debate against Trump in October. But in an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, the GOP nominee mused, "I sort of think maybe I shouldn’t do it." 

By Wednesday afternoon, Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social to double down on his stance.

He wrote, "In the World of Boxing or UFC, when a Fighter gets beaten or knocked out, they get up and scream, 'I DEMAND A REMATCH, I DEMAND A REMATCH!' Well, it’s no different with a Debate. She was beaten badly last night. Every Poll has us WINNING, in one case, 92-8, so why would I do a Rematch?"
