FLINT, MICHIGAN: Kamala Harris seemed to get caught in a '32 days' chant momentarily during her rally in Flint, Michigan, on Friday, October 4. This led to speculation among social media users about a possible teleprompter failure.

A video emerged on X, previously known as Twitter, depicting the vice president pausing unexpectedly in her speech.

In her speech, Harris seemed to echo a broken record rather than a poised campaigner. "32 days... 32 days... Okay," she repeated, her words emerging as if on a looped playlist.

Harris continued, “We got some business to do”. Attempting to regain her footing, her speech faltered, failing to get back on track as she repeated herself, again, “32 days.” 

She successfully emphasized the importance of the election, stating, “This is gonna be a very tight race until the very end.”

By that time, it appeared the audience had noticed the teleprompter error. Nevertheless, like a seasoned politician, she persevered, circling back to "32 days" once again, before adeptly redirecting the discussion towards the challenging work that lay ahead.
