Kamala Harris attempted an impersonation of her election rival Donald Trump during a speech in Georgia on Friday.
Trump himself is no stranger to impersonation, often criticizing the weaknesses of Harris’ boss Joe Biden and his speech during the campaign.
Harris adopted a Trump voice during her speech as she discussed her plans to protect and expand abortion rights and addressed restrictions that she said could kill pregnant women.
“On the other hand… the other people, Trump and his running mate, will talk about, ‘Oh, I do believe in the maternal life exception,’” she proclaimed in a deep Trumpian voice.
She then criticized Trump and his running mate JD Vance’s positions on abortion, drawing loud applause from the partisan audience.

Trump himself is no stranger to parroting his ideas, and he often criticizes the weaknesses of Harris’ boss Joe Biden and his speech patterns during the presidency.
Harris, who is in a neck-and-neck race with Trump, has often been criticized by the press for avoiding relatable anecdotes and humor in favor of bizarre “word salad.”
This became clear on Thursday evening during an interview with Oprah Winfrey during a fundraising livestream.
When a young couple from Pennsylvania told them that their daily expenses were still too high, Harris tried to empathize with them.
“Your story is one I hear all over the country when I travel. In terms of the right to have aspirations and dreams and ambitions for your family and work hard and find that the American dream for this generation and recently is much more elusive than it has been. And we have to deal with that,” she began.
Harris reiterated her pledge to investigate food price abuses and provide tax breaks for first-home buyers.
“Look, I grew up with a mother who worked very hard. She raised me and my sister,” Harris continued.
Harris concluded her performance with Winfrey with a circular monologue, in which she spoke about freedom and patriotism.
“We love our country. I love our country. I know we all do, that’s why everybody’s here right now. We love our country. We — we’re proud of the privilege of being American, and this is a moment when we can and we must come together as Americans, realizing that we have so much more in common than what divides us,” Harris said emphatically. “Let’s come together with the spirit that we pride ourselves on, which is that we are an optimistic people.”

Despite the support of the current president and the Democratic Party, Harris has been ridiculed since taking office as vice president for a series of gaffes in raising public issues in interviews, press conferences and even in statements.
One of Harris’ most confusing outbursts came when he burst out laughing after uttering the phrase, “Do you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?” during a speech about equality and progress for Latinos.
She seemed to be trying to explain that we need to focus on the wider community, adding that ‘nothing exists in isolation’.
After a clip of the speech went viral earlier this year, it became a popular internet meme widely spread by her followers, who are informally known as the “K-hive.”
Winfrey returned to her popular talk show for one night only to help Vice President Kamala Harris win the White House.
Winfrey opened the hour-and-a-half livestream by introducing a number of Hollywood stars, including Bryan Cranston, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Jennifer Lopez, Tracee Ellis Ross, Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep, who also joined the conversation.
