Kamala Harris' embarrassing teleprompter fail at Flint rally reminds Internet of 'tape on loop'
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.
OMG: Kamala really can’t speak without a teleprompter!

Kamala Harris struggles with teleprompter mishap, repeatedly says '32 days'
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.
Kamala Harris promises to create more good union jobs in Flint
During her rally in Flint, the vice president criticized former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, for their track record on manufacturing jobs. She labeled the Republican presidential nominee "one of the biggest losers of manufacturing jobs in American history."
“I come from the middle class and I will never forget where I come from,” Harris said. She also committed to fostering development in cities such as Flint and to creating more "good union jobs" that "do not require a college degree."

Another added, "Omg Kamala's teleprompter just stopped working and she completely malfunctioned, repeating the same rehearsed lines aimlessly. This is the Kamala that would be in the Situation Room. Remember that."
