Kamala Harris spoke with what appeared to be a forced Southern accent while addressing supporters in Atlanta, Georgia, on Tuesday.
Harris, a California native with Jamaican and Indian heritage, could not rely on her identity politics this time around, so she decided to activate her fake accent.
“And you all helped us win in 2020, and we gon’ do it again in 2024,” the vice president declared (with a southern twang.)

However, Harris wasn’t fooling anybody on social media and became the butt of an avalanche of jokes.
“‘We gon’ do it agin in twunny twunny fo!’ Kamala seems to have developed a Sudden Onset Urban Accent. A condition that the last female presidential candidate famously suffered from,” said Daily Wire contributor Matt Walsh.

Others noted that Harris’ rally wasn’t the first time she miraculously adopted a new accent while speaking to southern voters.
During an address to voters in Georgia Senate runoff elections in 2020, Harris spoke with some southern drawl while speaking in Columbus.
“We’re looking across the country at so much devastation. People who have lost family members, lost time being able to go to work, lost time in terms of our children’s education and the days of their education they have missed,” then Vice President-elect Harris told supporters while frequently pausing as if she were giving a sermon.
Harris’ southern accent has also surfaced during North Carolina and Washington D.C campaign events.
Did you see Kamla Harris channel Hillary Clinton and fake an over the top southern accent while boasting about getting rid of Trump tax cuts?

Perhaps she is taking pointers from Joe Biden, known for switching his accent and rehashing different details about his upbringing to appease certain voters.
During a campaign stop in 2012, Biden told black churchgoers that then-Republican candidate Mitt Romney was going to “put ya’ll back in chains.”

In 2022 Biden quoted a “southern saying” that nobody seemed to know while speaking in Florida.
“You know, as they say in southern, doesn’t know where ya’ll been… hot damn boy.”
