Watch: People are accusing Kamala Harris of using different accents for the same speech in various cities

With the US Presidential elections coming up soon on November 5, things are getting heated up as campaigns pile up. Recently, Democratic nominee and current Vice President Kamala Harris has been going viral after her speeches in rallies, since people are alleging that she's saying the same speech in two different accents in two different places.

Check out the videos here:

In the speech, Harris is heard saying, "You better thank a union member for sick leave. You better thank a union member for paid leave. You better thank a union member for vacation time."

However, the spotlight quickly shifted to her accents.?

People have alleged that Harris delivered the same line with a southern Black accent in Detroit earlier in the day and then switched to her usual accent in Pittsburgh just hours later.

The focus on her accent has intensified, with some scrutinising how she pronounced "64 days" differently in two separate speeches.

The caption reads, "Omg listen to how Kamala Harris says '64 days' in Detroit vs. how she says it in Pittsburgh just a couple hours apart.. The accent change is insane."

However, switching between accents is quite common, especially for individuals of Indian origin.?

For instance, a report by The Hindu notes that even someone who has lived in the U.S. for over 20 years might have different accents when speaking with American friends compared to Indian relatives. This shift often happens naturally and sometimes, subconsciously.

Given Kamala Harris's Indian heritage—her mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, hails from Tamil Nadu—it's not surprising that she might have been exposed to a variety of languages and accents beyond US English.?

Therefore, switching between accents isn't particularly unusual.

Ultimately, criticising Harris solely for her accent seems unfair, as evaluating a presidential candidate should focus on substantive issues like their stance on key policies rather than such minor details.
