Yeah she's gonna win. Last time I saw this kind of unbridled celebrity was 2008. Some guy named Barack Obama was starting to surge, which surprised me with such a foreign (and muslim) sounding name just 8 years after 9/11. I was home with my kids and his face suddenly appeared on the TV, my 2-year old daughter immediately pointed and said "bawaak obaaaama!" I was stunned. Never in US history has a toddler immediately recognized a Presidential candidate upon sight. I knew right then he was gonna win in a landslide...."

That is the cutest damn thing I've ever seen at a convention.

The other candidate, Ebenezer Screwed, has been purposely mispronouncing her name. Even his third grade level intellect can understand this lesson.

Every station has its comments turned off lol

Really? Male candidates are called by their last name. Why is her own party making her the odd kid on the block? Call her Harris, unless you don't think she belong in the club!

This gave me goose bumps. I loved it then and continue to love it now.

These feel like the leadership rituals of some primitive tribe, not the world's most powerful nation.

Bill Clinton pronounced it CAM-ala. He gets a pass?

[chesterhaduca]

Wth is going on here??? Does this help Americans- getting the correct pronunciation of Kamala ‘s name? 😂😂😂😂

Some woke intern at ABC keeps deleting my posts lol

I am Indian and Tamil like Kamala Harris. That is not how you say "kamala". There is no accent on the first "a". Only the last "a" is accented. The first and second "a" have the same meter. The last "a" has twice the meter. And it is "ka", not "kha". There is no aspiration there.

Woww lmao her name will be forgotten! Trusttt

[heidisolodkowski]

WTF? Seriously? Is this a school concert or a presidential run?

[DoctorSpicy]

I don’t have to pronounce her name the way they’re sayin. Sry.

To bad these kids will witness their Grand auntie lose so viciously.
