Kamala Harris tried out an impression of her election rival Donald Trump during a speech in Georgia on Friday.
Trump is himself no stranger to mimicry, often breaking out takes on Harris’ boss Joe Biden’s frailty and patterns of speech on the trail.
Harris slipped into a Trump voice during her speech while discussing her plans to protect and expand abortion rights and restrictions that she believes could kill pregnant women.
‘On the other side… the other folks, Trump and his running mate and they’ll talk about: “Oh, I do believe in the exception for the mother’s life,'” she proclaimed in a Trumpian deep voice.
She then went on to slam Trump and running mate JD Vance’s views on abortions to rapturous applause from the partisan audience.

Harris – who is neck-and-neck in the race with Trump – has often taken heat from the press for avoiding relatable anecdotes and humor for bizarre ‘word salad’.
That appeared to be on full display Thursday night during an interview with Oprah Winfrey on a fundraising live-stream.
When a young Pennsylvania couple spoke about how everyday expenses were still too high, Harris began by trying to empathize with them.
‘Yours is a story I hear around the country as I travel. In terms of both rightly having the right to have aspirations and dreams and ambitions for your family and working hard and finding that the American dream is for this generation and recently far more illusive than it’s been. And we need to deal with that,’ she began.
Harris repeated her promise to look into price gouging by food producers and offering tax credits for first time homebuyers.
‘Look I grew up a child of a mother who worked very hard, she raised me and my sister,’ Harris continued.
Harris also launched into a circular soliloquy to close her appearance with Winfrey as she spoke about freedom and patriotism.
‘We love our country. I love our country. I know we all do, that’s why everybody’s here right now. We love our country. We– we take pride in the privilege of being American and this is a moment where we can and must come together as Americans, understanding we have so much more in common than what separates us,’ Harris said emphatically. ‘Let’s come together with the character that we’re so proud about who we are which is we are an optimistic people.’

Despite receiving the support of the current president and the Democrat Party, Harris has been ridiculed since becoming VP for a series of blunders when addressing public issues in interviews, press conferences and even in statements.
One of Harris’ most confusing outbursts was to burst into laughter after uttering the phrase ‘you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?’, while giving a speech on equality and advancement for Hispanic people.
She appeared to be trying to explain the need to focus on the wider community, adding that ‘nothing exists in a silo’.
After a clip of the speech went viral earlier this year, it became a popular internet meme that was widely circulated by her supporters, who are informally known as the ‘K-hive’.
Winfrey recreated her popular talk show for one night only to assist Vice President Kamala Harris in winning the White House.
Winfrey kicked off the hour-and-a-half long livestream by introducing a who’s who of Hollywood A-listers including Bryan Cranston, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Jennifer Lopez, Tracee Ellis Ross, Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep who Zoomed into the call.
