ATLANTA, GA – Vice President Kamala Harris surprised attendees and viewers at a campaign rally in Atlanta by unveiling her new Southern drawl during her speech.
This new accent, distinct from her usual speaking style, was unveiled as she addressed a crowd on Tuesday.
The move has sparked discussions on social media and among political analysts about the strategic choices behind this change while some say it was just the Vice President pandering to her audience.
Harris, on the campaign trail after securing backing from Democratic delegates, appeared to be using the accent to connect with a broader audience. The implications of this shift in her rhetorical approach are yet to be fully understood.
