Speaking to a quiet assembly at her alma mater, Harris discussed the "dark time" that some Americans might sense they are facing, yet she encouraged a spirit of hope and perseverance.

Internet showers Kamala Harris with love and support

After reading Meena Harris' caption, "We love her so much," Kamala Harris' supporters in the comment section expressed how much she is cherished.

A user said, “It’s so bittersweet but I’m so glad she gets to have this kind of love and joy again.”

Another added, “I hope she feels how much we love her can’t even put all of the feelings into words, but thank you for sharing these moments with us.”

A third remarked, “Thank you for continuing to share her with us in such a big way WE LOVE UR AUNTIE!!!!!!!”

"I know that’s right Kamala! You don’t deserve all that Dramala. Gone and rest your Mindala,” wrote Harris' supporter.

A person said, “QUEEN!! She deserves to relax with you and your ladies beautiful family now. My forever Madame president."

Another added, “Hold her for us, hug her for us, THANK HER FOR US. We are all so proud.”

“So sweet. She will be back. She had 100 days to complete the impossible and almost did it. I believe she will regroup and execute to perfection in 2028. It took Joe Biden 3 attempts to finally win. I don't even consider the 100-day sprint an honest attempt,” wrote one Instagram user.
