Kamala plays with the kids of Generation Z by revealing what she really thinks about the TikTok bill, without condemning the college protests and talking about her hair

Vice President Kamala Harris continues to try to demonstrate her professed love for Generation Z and youth campaigning as she tries to rebuild her image for the 2024 elections.

Seeking to soften the administration’s support for a bill that would ban TikTok, the vice president took a delicate approach to anti-Semitism among pro-Palestinian protests at the university, even filming a Buzzfeed video about her “hair journey.”

Harris claimed the Biden administration did not want to ban TikTok even as she said the president would “absolutely” sign the foreign aid package that includes the measure that would ban TikTok if Chinese company Bytedance fails to get rid of the platform bump.

‘Let me be clear. We do not want to ban TikTok and that is not our intention at all,” Harris said Monday during an interview with local television in Wisconsin.

The White House has said Biden would sign the $95 billion relief package, including the TikTok ban, after it passes the Senate.

But Harris tried to soften the message for young users of the social media platform, expressing hope that TikTok would comply with the new law.

“We’re not trying to ban TikTok, we’re basically saying we should pay attention to who owns Tiktok and pay attention to what that entails in terms of national security issues,” she said. ‘We don’t want to ban TikTok at all.’

Harris also spoke subtly about the growing anti-Semitism among college protesters at some of America’s most prestigious universities.

“Honestly, I’m very concerned about it, about what we’ve seen now since October 7 and we’re only seeing it grow, and I’m very concerned about it,” she said, without condemning the young pro-Palestinian protesters .

As part of her ongoing effort to attract young voters, Harris also took part in a Buzzfeed video about her “hair journey.”

Harris spoke to Buzzfeed about her experience with her mother putting her hair into two braids when she was in elementary school and taking them out at school.

In college, she explained, she cut her hair short out of convenience.

“It was just easy instead of having to deal with the amount of time it takes to do your own hair or get it done, which I really couldn’t afford.” It was just easy, when I was in college I just didn’t want to spend so much time worrying about my hair,” she said.

She explained that she grew her hair longer after being elected district attorney in San Francisco and that she uses a “round brush” and not a hot iron to style her hair.

When asked ahead of the election for her message to Black voters, Harris responded, “Never let anyone take your power from you, your vote matters. Because people voted in record numbers in 2020, I am the first President of the United States.”
