By most accounts, Vice President Kamala Harris’s attempt to sway Latino voters with a Univision town hall was anything but successful.
Taking audience questions during the town hall hosted by the Spanish-language television station, Harris not only didn’t give direct answers, she served up more of her word salads.
At one point, the television cameras caught Harris from an angle that showed the teleprompter assisting her. Speculation on social media was that once it appeared they were exposed, Univision cut the feed to the teleprompter.

“Who should exercise more power in our country – the person who writes the teleprompter script, or the President for whom it’s written? That’s what this election comes down to, even more than ideology,” former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy wrote on X in reaction to the clip.
It was not clear from the short clip circulating online if this was the case but it certainly did not help the optics for the Democratic presidential nominee. But a producer for the show took to X to dismiss the theories as “not true.”
“That’s not true,” Daniel Coronell wrote. “The teleprompter that displays a text written in Spanish was a support element for the town hall moderator. I can tell you this with first-hand knowledge because I was in charge of the television program.”
Enrique Acevedo, the town hall moderator, also debunked the claims as “untrue.”
“The prompter displayed my introduction (in Spanish) and then it switched to a timer,” Acevedo said on X. “Any claim to the contrary is simply untrue.”
The Trump War Room account on X highlighted several other cringe-y moments from the event.
“I used to spend $250 a week on food and now it goes up to $350… What are you going to do to help the middle class so that the cost of living does not destroy us?” one person asked the VP.
Harris responded by telling the voter, “I come from the working class. I’m never going to forget what I come from.”

She gave a rambling response to one voter who brought up the way Harris managed to secure the party nomination.

Not surprisingly, Harris also delivered a non-answer on the border.

Harris: Word salad. Promises to bring back border security bill and pathway to citizenship. False choice to do one or the other. Still offers no differentiation from Biden when asked. pic.twitter.com/tzQ6ISo5Wo— Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) October 11, 2024
Harris was even asked to name three virtues possessed by former President Donald Trump.
