President Joe Biden's sudden decision to step down from the 2024 presidential election has laid out a new stream of misinformation about Vice President Kamala Harris, endorsed by Biden to become the Democratic Party's candidate for the race.
On Sunday, Biden announced he was quitting the race after facing pressure in the aftermath of his debate with Trump in late June, when his performance magnified concerns about his age and fitness for office. In his letter on social media, Biden, 81, endorsed Harris, telling his fellow Democrats that "it's time to come together and beat Trump."
As Republicans reorganize their attack lines against the Democrats, a video clip of Kamala Harris making a bumbling and awkward speech began to pick up attention on social media.
