Harris doesn’t know when to stop talking. All she has done is make herself look like a numbskull.
And now Kamala Harris completely undermined her own agenda with a huge mistake caught on camera.
Harris’ Flawed Attack on Election Safeguards Backfires
In a move that highlights her ongoing resistance to commonsense voting reforms, former Vice President Kamala Harris lambasted the SAVE Act, arguing it would disenfranchise a staggering 40% of Americans who supposedly lack basic documents like birth certificates or passports.
Speaking on a left-leaning podcast, Harris portrayed the GOP-backed bill—aimed at ensuring only citizens vote—as an unnecessary barrier, particularly for married women, despite widespread public support for such measures.
Critics quickly pointed out that her claims might exaggerate the issue, given that the legislation enjoys backing from 83% of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, per a 2025 Pew survey.
Harris, who fell short in her 2024 presidential bid, told host Aaron Parnas that the bill’s requirements could suppress turnout.
“You know what the SAVE Act would do? Require that people show a birth certificate or a passport to register to vote,” Harris said on the Wednesday episode of “The Parnas Perspective.”
“I don’t have the exact numbers in front of me, but it’s something like 40% of Americans don’t have those documents.”
She further claimed it would hit women hardest: “Married women, if you changed your name and got married, it’s going to be difficult [as far as] what’s on your birth certificate, right? And what that’s going to do is complicate the ability of women to register to vote,” added Harris, who did not take her husband’s surname. “And so this is happening in real time to suppress and obstruct the ability of people to vote.”
Conspiracy-Laden Warnings: Harris Ties Bill to ‘Militarization’ Fears
Escalating her rhetoric, Harris linked the SAVE Act to broader conspiracy theories, suggesting recent events in Minneapolis could foreshadow federal efforts to intimidate voters.
This unsubstantiated narrative drew eye-rolls from conservatives, who see it as another attempt to undermine trust in election security without evidence. The bill, which mandates photo ID for voting nationwide and proof of citizenship for registration, has been championed by President Donald Trump as a vital step to protect democracy.
“And then my concern, frankly, Aaron, is that, when we saw what happened in Minneapolis, I think we really need to understand that in addition to everything that was obvious about it, it might have been basically a demonstration and a beta testing of the militarizing of the streets of America to intimidate people against voting, and using federal officials to intimidate people to not vote,” Harris said.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has echoed Harris’ opposition, dubbing the measure “Jim Crow 2.0” in a February 15 CNN interview—a charge Republicans dismiss as hyperbolic fearmongering.
Bipartisan Backing Undermines Harris’ Opposition
Despite Harris’ dire warnings, the SAVE Act’s popularity cuts across party lines, with 71% of Democrats supporting photo ID requirements according to Pew Research. Proponents argue it’s a straightforward fix to prevent non-citizen voting, a concern that has gained traction amid debates over election integrity.
Harris’ pushback, coming from the sidelines after her electoral defeat, appears out of step with voter sentiment and risks alienating moderates who prioritize secure elections over unverified claims of widespread disenfranchisement.
