A heartwarming video of a young girl hugging Kamala Harris and expressing admiration went viral, but online reactions raised concerns about children being coached to make political statements. While some criticised the practice, others suggested the parents likely had good intentions in teaching the girl about Harris.

In the video, a young girl excitedly runs into Kamala Harris¡¯s arms, and Harris warmly says, ¡°It¡¯s our first time meeting, but it¡¯s a wonderful time.¡±
She then enthusiastically tells the girl's parents, ¡°I am voting for her!¡±
When Harris asks, ¡°Tell me what¡¯s going on with you,¡± the girl sweetly replies, ¡°I love you so much, Kamala. We fight, we win!¡±
Touched, Harris calls her "smart" and adds, ¡°I¡¯m so proud of you. You make me feel so inspired.¡±
The heartwarming moment ends with the girl giving Harris another hug before saying goodbye.
How did people respond?
In the comments, however, the reactions were far from heartwarming.
Many expressed concern over why a young child would be taught to say such things. One user commented, ¡°Listen¡ªI¡¯m voting for Kamala, but I don¡¯t like seeing kids coached into saying things like this on EITHER side. It feels wrong.¡±
Another echoed this sentiment, adding, ¡°I don¡¯t like children being coached into saying things, especially about topics they¡¯re too young to understand.¡±
¡°This girl is literally a toddler, incapable of comprehending politics. Let kids be kids,¡± wrote another.
Yet, some offered a more nuanced take, suggesting that while the girl might have been coached, her parents likely had good intentions.
As one user put it, ¡°Little girl was coached in her speech, but it's very likely the parents also explained in the simplest terms why this is all important and why Kamala should be looked up to.¡±
