Kamala Harris was caught red-handed for an embarrassing gaffe on Election Day. While on the phone with a voter, he turned his phone to face the camera, making it appear as though he was not on the phone at all.

🚨#breaking news: Watch Kamala Harris make a phone bank call in Washington, D.C., hours before polls close. A short time later, the camera captures her phone screen with only the camera app open and no active call screen. pic.twitter.com/Bu7Pk5gpAb
“Have you voted yet?” an enthusiastic Harris said by phone. As if listening, she stopped and shouted, “Thank you!”
The vice president then pointed his cell phone screen at supporters at Democratic Party headquarters in Washington, D.C., who applauded and cheered.
“Kamala only pretended to talk to voters on the phone but accidentally showed her phone was accessing the camera app,” one person wrote to X. “LOL, everything about Kamala is fake and staged.”
“Kamala Harris is such a fraud that she was arrested today for making fake phone calls to 'supporters.' Her campaign is a disaster,” another person wrote to X.
Some on social media described the publicity stunt as “cruel” and “embarrassing”, while others questioned whether Harris might have actually answered the phone after all.
“No. Kamala Harris didn't 'make a call' just because she saw the camera app,” one person commented on X.
“Try it, make a call, open the camera, put it to your cheek and take it off. You'll see the screen activate/deactivate to prevent your cheek from dialing (like her).” Masu.”
“iPhone only does this during a call.”
Harris plans to attend a Harris election observation party at her alma mater, Howard University, to watch the election results.
Meanwhile, her opponent, Donald Trump, will be watching the outcome of the Mar-a-Lago property at a Republican watch party.
