Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance’s (R-Ohio) public profile has changed tremendously since his now-running mate former President Donald Trump first ran for president in 2016. Vance, then a venture capitalist and author of the successful memoir Hillbilly Elegy, was a harsh critic of Trump and used to openly describe him as an “idiot,” wondering whether he might be “America’s Hitler” in a Facebook conversation with a friend.

As Vance radicalized over the course of a successful Ohio Senate campaign, he reconciled with Trump while becoming a fixture of MAGA politics in his own right.

“I allowed myself to focus so much on the stylistic element of Trump that I completely ignored the way in which he substantively was offering something very different on foreign policy, on trade, on immigration,” Vance told the New York Times’ Ross Douthat in June this year.

Along the way, his personal style also shifted, going from the baby-faced blogger of yore to a sitting senator. Vance grew a beard, got sharper haircuts, and settled into a professional suit and tie.

Some people think he hasn’t stopped there though, and are speculating that he’s also wearing eyeliner.

Is JD Vance wearing eyeliner?

On TikTok, the theories have been swirling since Trump announced the pick.

“This is unserious political commentary but I can’t stop thinking about it,” @mamasissiesays said in one video posted on June 19. “Is JD Vance wearing eyeliner?”

The TikToker, who goes by Casey, compared stylized photos of Vance with his official Senate portrait, as well as how he looked on TV appearances.

“No eyeliner to see here … that’s very much a man not wearing eyeliner,” Casey said about his Senate portrait, then contrasted it with a TV appearance. “Obviously something’s going on here,” she commented, “along with some contour, I’d love to know his shade.”

“That is a bold line just a few millimeters over and he’ll have a proper cat-eye on his hands,” she added, zooming in on one shot of Vance’s eye.

“We’re fine with men who wear makeup,” she specified. “What we’re not fine with is hypocrites who make … harmful policies against men who wear makeup.”

She also claimed to have found Vance’s shade, a “deep taupe-gray matte” glide-on eye pencil called “Urban Decay Desperation.”

It's a fitting color for a man who chucked his liberal values to latch on to a candidate decrying crime-riddled American metropolises.

Casey wasn’t the only TikToker who noticed the eyeliner. @skyeleight55, who goes by Skye Dawn on the platform, reacted to Casey’s video with a screenshot of Vance she said she’d taken because she had the exact same thought

“You cannot tell me he’s not sitting there … [with] foundation, eye liner, and filler,” Skye Dawn said.

Another TikToker offered the full JD Vance makeup tutorial for his national debut at the Republican National Convention.

In the post, they draw on a really “tight” eyeliner, both above and “under your eye like you are a 14-year-old girl in 2006," that, along with mascara "makes our eyes look sunken and like we're worried for America."

The Trump-Vance campaign didn’t answer questions about whether they were employing a makeup artist for Vance. Multiple people who worked for Vance in the Senate also didn’t answer questions about his makeup regime. Plenty of politicians wear makeup today on the campaign trail and under the glare of stage and television lights.

Republican presidential candidate Richard Nixon blamed his loss in 1960 against John F. Kennedy at least partially on the fact that he refused to wear makeup during their televised debate. Polling before the TV faceoff had Nixon six points up, but his haggard appearance turned voters off.

Kriss Blevens, who’s done campaign makeup for dozens of presidential candidates over the years, also didn’t respond to questions about whether Vance was sporting eyeliner.

But this wouldn't be the first aesthetic secret of a politician outed by TikTok.

Online theories about the footwear of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) did him no favors in a brutal Republican primary campaign against Trump. TikTokers speculated that DeSantis was wearing a wedge shoe to increase his height, something he denied but which led to numerous awkward questions about the boots, and even an attack from Trump, who accused him of wearing high heels.

Vice President Kamala Harris is developing a new fan base: white dudes.

As her presidential campaign ramps up, a group of white men formed a coalition known as "White Dudes for Harris."

The group plans to kick off Monday night via a virtual call that will feature speakers including Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D), singer Josh Groban, actor Mark Hamill, and others.

"Together, we aren’t going to sit around and let the MAGA crowd bully other white guys into voting for a hateful and divisive ideology because we understand that under MAGA everyone loses," the RSVP page for Monday's call reads. "We know that as white dudes, we have both a strong, and positive role to play in America’s shared future, and it begins with all of us cutting through the MAGA crap and reminding the folks who have co-opted American symbols what America actually means."

White Dudes for Harris also launched a $35 hat with its slogan ahead of the meeting.

The group said that nearly 80,000 people have RSVP'd and it collectively raised more than $300,000 in support of Harris' campaign.

What do Democrats think about White Dudes for Harris?

Democratic influencers and those planning to attend the call praised the initial organizing.

"Tonight's call represents a promising attempt to create a movement and a permission structure to lift many white dudes out of the MAGA whirlpool they've gotten sucked into," wrote one person on X. "It will allow for tough but necessary conversations that can create healing, movement, and unity around Kamala Harris and Democratic candidates like her."

He continued: "The guys organizing tonight’s call were inspired by the Black women and men, as well as all the other folks, who've organized calls over the last week. White men haven't organized ourselves well around Democratic values, which has been detrimental to the country and our ability to win elections."

Joked the pro-Democrat account VoteDarkBrandon: "Folks—white boy summer is here," riffing on the right-wing attempts to claim the phrase.

At the same time, critics of Harris were quick to put the group on blast.

Some accounts posted images of transgender women while making fun of the initiative, while others took digs at the manliness of the attendees.

"White dudes for Harris?? The Democrats return to their segregationist roots," slammed one person.

"If you belong to 'White Dudes for Harris', you've turned in your man card and didn't even realize it," snarked someone else.

"These dudes would be melting down if there was a 'White Dudes for Trump,'" mused another person.

Asked one user: "How beta-male can you be?"

The post White Dudes for Harris thinks they can turn male MAGA supporters appeared first on The Daily Dot.

Ever since former President Donald Trump announced Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) as his running mate in the 2024 presidential election, Vance has dealt with some peculiar criticisms. Some joked that Vance had a sexual relationship with a couch. Others claimed that Vance once shared a screenshot on X that showed him having searched for a video of a woman and a dolphin being intimate.

Now, people are just saying he's weird, including Vice President Kamala Harris' official campaign X account. Harris is running for the Democratic nomination for president.

"JD Vance is weird and creepy," @KamalaHQ tweeted on Friday regarding Vance's comments about a "federal response" to stop women from traveling to other states to get an abortion.

In response, many right-wing influencers and well-known online figures posted memes, images, and videos to prove that the people who call Vance weird are actually weird themselves. Many of these posts focus on drag queens, non-binary and trans people, and the LGBTQ community in general.

Donald Trump Jr. posted a video of Harris high-fiving drag queen Pattiegonia, whose real name is Wyn Wiley. In the video, Harris and Wiley reference Kylie Minogue's song "Padam Padam." Wiley was invited by the Biden administration to the White House to celebrate Pride Month and has met with lawmakers about climate change.

"'JD Vance is weird' - Team Kamala Harris," Trump Jr. said on X yesterday.

Phillip Buchanan, who goes by Catturd online and has almost 3 million followers on X, also posted a photo of Harris and Wiley.

"JD Vance is so weird," he wrote.

Buchanan also posted a photo of Admiral Rachel Levine, who is the Department of Health and Human Services' Assistant Secretary of Health. Levine is trans.

Chaya Raichik, who runs @LibsOfTikTok, posted a video of Harris with Queer Eye star Jonathan Van Ness, who is non-binary. Raichik posts about LGBTQ educators online and her tweets have been connected to more than twenty bomb threats across the country.

Other prominent right-wing accounts posted similar tweets. Mostly Peaceful Latinas, a conservative podcast hosted by Linda Catalina and Isabella Rodriguez, posted photos of Rose Montoya and Dylan Mulvaney on its X account.

Montoya was invited to the White House for Pride Month in 2023, where she posed for photos topless. According to a statement from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Montoya is no longer welcome at the White House. She is trans.

Mulvaney, who is also trans, is an influencer who is well-known for her "Days of Girlhood" series in which she documented the ins and outs of her transition. Last year, she partnered with Bud Light which resulted in a huge right-wing boycott of the beer brand.

"'JD Vance is weird,'" the account wrote.

@GrandOldMemes, a conservative meme account with over 575,000 followers, took a different approach: It posted a meme that features the anti-semitic hate symbol "the happy merchant" with signs that say "Harris for President" and "Protect Trans Kids."

Vance's response to the hullaballoo was to post a video of Harris saying her pronouns at a 2020 CNN Town Hall.

In his less than two years in the Senate, Vance has introduced anti-trans legislation and made many anti-LGBTQ statements.

The post Kamala Harris called JD Vance ‘weird’—so now his fans are mocking trans people appeared first on The Daily Dot.

Right-wingers online are miffed Jennifer Aniston criticized Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance for claiming in 2021 that the U.S. was being run by "childless cat ladies."

Aniston weighed in on a recirculating Fox News clip from 2021 where Vance complained that "we're effectively run in this country, via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too."

Vance—who at the time was running for Senate—specifically called out Vice President Kamala Harris, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) for not having children.

“And it’s just a basic fact—you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC—the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children," Vance said. "And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?”

Harris does not have biological children but has been a stepmother for nearly ten years. Buttigieg, at the time of Vance's remarks, was in the process of trying to adopt. The Buttigiegs announced the birth of their adopted twins in September 2021.

The Friends star wrote on her Instagram story Wednesday: “I truly can't believe this is coming from a potential VP of The United States."

"Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day," she continued. "I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too."

In June, Vance, along with the vast majority of Republican senators, blocked The Right to IVF Act, which would have codified the right to in vitro fertilization and lowered its cost.

Republicans criticized the bill as an election-year stunt, though Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Katie Britt (R-Ala.) did introduce a competing bill. That bill did not move forward due to opposition by one of The Right to IVF Act's sponsors, who argued it would create burdensome requirements that would force IVF clinics to close.

Aniston does not have any children but previously spoke out in a 2022 cover story for Allure about undergoing multiple rounds of IVF.

“I was trying to get pregnant. It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,” Aniston said.

She added: "I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it. I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.’ You just don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed.”

In the wake of Aniston's criticism, fans of Vance are hitting back hard—and some are even targeting the actress for lacking children.

"Jennifer Aniston is 55 years old, childless, and miserable," wrote one X account.

"LMAO Jennifer Aniston should've found someone when she was in her prime," sniped another. "Too bad so sad.. Have fun with your cats."

"Jennifer Aniston is an attractive woman. She's also got psychological & personality problems," someone else asserted. "That's why every man she's ever entered a relationship with left her & never looked back. Her opinion of Trump & Vance isn't worth shit."

Right-wing commentator Ian Miles Cheong took a swipe at Aniston too, saying, "Oh no, the cat ladies are offended."

But many others did not hesitate to defend Aniston and echo her criticism.

"Jennifer Aniston has dogs. Not cats," quipped one person.

"I have been trying to warn every conservative man I know - these JD comments are activating women across all sides, including my most conservative Trump supporting friends," said Meghan McCain. "These comments have caused real pain and are just innately unchristian. This is not who we are."

Echoed someone else: "Childless cat lady rhetoric and going against IVF might just pave the way to lose the elections. These men have completely underestimated how triggering women’s fertility journeys have been. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned - and who could not have children…"

The post Jennifer Aniston unloads on J.D. Vance for bashing women who can’t have children appeared first on The Daily Dot.

Democrats focused their messaging upon the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 program in recent weeks, with mentions of the over 900-page uber-conservative policy document tripling since the beginning of June, according to an analysis by the Washington Post. 

That push has some Republicans distancing themselves from the project, including their 2024 nominee former President Donald Trump. But despite Trump’s attempts to back away from the policy proposal, he may have a hard time pretending his ticket doesn’t endorse it. His vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance wrote the foreword to a book by the architect of the agenda, which is coming out in September.

An Amazon presale page for "Dawn's Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America” has been circulating online, tagging Vance as the man behind the foreword. 

The "Dawn's Early Light" sales copy explicitly references Project 2025.

"Heritage Foundation president and Project 2025 head Kevin Roberts outlines a peaceful 'Second American Revolution' for voters looking to shift the power back into the hands of the people," it reads.

Vance, prior to his selection as Trump's vice presidential pick, tweeted about his eagerness to endorse the book.

Roberts, who is the president of the Heritage Foundation, said at the beginning of July that the project was part of a “Second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

Vance's own words in his blurb for the book are a nod to violent revolution.

“Never before has a figure with Roberts’s depth and stature within the American Right tried to articulate a genuinely new future for conservatism ... We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon,” Vance wrote. 

But its stark vision shocked those on the left and is being used to galvanize Democrats.

“It is really important that voters understand that Donald Trump in a second term would be far worse, far more dangerous and far more extreme than he was even in his first term,” TJ Ducklo, a senior adviser to the then-Biden campaign, told the Post in the first week of July. “That is a core argument that we are making and must continue to make to voters, and Project 2025 is one of the most effective ways we can make that point.”

Vice President Kamala Harris, now the presumptive Democratic Party nominee, has also made Project 2025 an early focus in her campaign, evoking the threat of it at a rally at the Indiana Convention Center on Wednesday.

“We must also recognize there are those who are trying to take us backward," Harris said in her speech. "Can you believe they put that in writing? This represents an outright attack on our children, our families and our future. These extremists want to take us back, but we are not going back."

The Daily Dot has not reviewed the full text of the book’s foreword by Vance but has reached out to HarperCollins.

Trump made opposition to the plan part of his campaign speech over the brewing public backlash.

At the beginning of July, Trump posted on Truth Social saying that he “know[s] nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.”

“They read some of the things, and they are extreme,” Trump said about the project during his speech at his first rally with Vance in Georgia this week. “They’re seriously extreme.”

“But I don’t know anything about it,” Trump said standing in front of a Trump-Vance 2024 podium. “I don’t want to know anything about it.”

The post Amazon presale page reveals J.D. Vance called on conservatives to ‘load the muskets’ in support of Project 2025 appeared first on The Daily Dot.

Vice President Kamala Harris is all but officially the Democratic Party’s 2024 nominee for president. After just a day of campaigning, she was backed by more than 1,976 pledged delegates. That’s enough for her to win the nomination outright on the Democratic National Convention’s first ballot.

Ever since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race over the weekend and effectively turned the party’s nomination over to Harris, the internet has been flooded with Harris discourse, memes, and discussion, from coconut riffs to Brat-inspired rebrands, unburdened by what has been.

On Reddit, there’s been no shortage of discussion either, with posts about Kamala and memes about Kamala hitting the front page of r/all daily.

But some people on Reddit have had enough of what they’re calling ‘Kamala spam,” especially in subreddits where they say posts about the vice president are wildly out of theme or irrelevant. Some posters even suspect astroturfing bots to be behind the flood of Kamala posts. Many posters, it seems, are feeling burdened by what is.

“I’ve been seeing Kamala Harris being posted on literally every subreddit, even apolitical ones. What’s going on? Is Reddit under attack by bots or something?” posted u/bowlis in /r/OutOfTheLoop on Tuesday, pointing to a couple of posts on r/GenZ, r/Pennsylvania, and r/pics.

And while r/Genz or r/Pennsylvania might seem like a more natural place to discuss politics, r/Pics posters in particular have been complaining about the flood of political posts in recent days.

“Why is this sub ‘Us politics’ now?” commented u/rhett_ad under a since-deleted post of Harris at the Mexican border titled ‘VP Kamala Harris at the US Mexico Border. Trump claims she’s never been to before.’

But they’re not the only redditor to complain about the flood of Kamala posts.

“When did this turn into a political subreddit?” asked u/bucky133. “That's all I see from it for weeks now.”

“It's just bots and Karma farming,” explained u/ilaym712 referencing the points accumulated from Reddit’s upvote system.

“*Kamala farming,” u/nate6259 corrected jokingly.

Off-theme Kamala posting also filled up non-politics subreddits like r/Interestingasfuck, where a post to a news article about Harris securing enough delegates to win the nomination was received frostily by redditors wondering what about the news merited its inclusion on the subreddit.

“As an American, this isn't ‘Interesting as fuck,’” commented u/Yolectroda in response to an explanation attributing the flood of Kamala posts to Reddit being a website used primarily by Americans. “Sure, it's good that she got it done, but it was expected once Biden and a bunch of others gave her their endorsements.”

“this place has been political posts for the past few weeks,” commented u/BTSherman. 

In recent weeks some smaller subreddits have also lost patience with all the politics posting.

On r/LostGeneration, where posters lament the sorry state of the economy and the feeling among many that they’re part of a lost generation who won’t ever make the same income as their parents, the mods pinned a post a couple of weeks ago warning about “DNC bots.” They pointed to “a frequency with the number of bots trying to push an agenda” as the election gets closer.

And on Tuesday, the mods pinned another post saying that posting in support of Kamala is a violation of the subreddit’s rules against justifying “genocide or genocidal policies.”

“This is not a sub for political campaigning and canvassing, this is not a sub for white washing genocidal world leaders,” posted u/ChickenNugget267. “You have the rest of reddit to canvass for your favourite genocidal fascist. You've taken over so many good subs with your bullshit. Leave this space alone. If you don't like that, feel free to share your discontent down below and we'll be sure to ban you.”

Redditors aren’t just upset about Kamala posting though. As much of the site fills up with political discussion ahead of the presidential election in November, there’s also general backlash from redditors about any discussion about politics outside of the designated subreddits.

And while Reddit’s AutoModerator has an option to filter out all Politics posts from r/pics, all the politics are still tiring some people out.

“is this r/pics or r/politics?” asked u/bowlis under a post in r/pics of an unflattering post of Donald Trump’s hair discussing the former president’s age and impeachment history.

“Until November, you'll find even r/gangstaswithwaifus is r/politics,” commented u/CharlesIngalls_Pubes sardonically.

On r/gangstaswithwaifu, however, no recent Harris pics appear. But there is one from a month ago of Trump.

The post Reddit turns on Kamala Harris as memes overwhelm forums appeared first on The Daily Dot.

Brat discourse made its way onto Fox News thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign.

And the network's conservative hosts do not get the hype—or understand the memes at all.

The memes and overall "brat" aesthetic derive from Charli XCX's latest album, Brat. In the weeks before President Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race, Charli XCX fans melded Brat's signature neon green hue and Harris' infamous coconut tree quote into uber-popular memes about Harris.

Then, on the day Biden endorsed Harris to be the Democratic nominee for president, Charli XCX declared "Kamala IS brat" in a tweet.

Harris' campaign ran with the Brat association: Its new X header photo says "kamala hq" in Brat's font and colors and posted Brat-themed announcements on Instagram.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Kamala HQ (@kamalahq)

The memes and Harris' team's usage of them have been so popular that yesterday, Fox News' The Five—which features hosts Greg Gutfeld and Dana Perino and contributors Jessica Tarlov and Katie Pavlich—took on the discourse.

In a clip, Gutfeld said he doesn't understand how "brat" memes help Harris. Perino said that the memes undermine Harris' credibility.

"I don't know how these memes actually help her because they speak to the truth that she's an unserious person," Gutfeld said. "Sorry to pee on your coconut parade."

Perino said that if she wanted to become the first female president, she would "really want to be taken seriously."

"If you're too online and you're just focused on the too online audience on both sides," she said, "you're going to lose a bunch of people who are saying 'can we just have somebody normal?'"

Gutfeld then said "do you really want brats to run this country? They already do enough damage," to which Tarlov replied, "you don't understand the essence of Brat summer."

The essence of a Brat summer is, of course, is living without a care, partying, and having a healthy amount of self-confidence.

Pavlich chimed in that she believes "white boy summer" memes from Trump's young male fan base will exceed Brat's cultural impact.

Meanwhile, people online found the hosts' confusion and bewilderment hilarious.

"The funniest part of the Kamala BRAT shit is people on Fox News who have never spoken to a teenager trying to explain it to the 75 year olds watching," an X user tweeted.

"This is so funny," another person said. "They couldn’t make [Harris] seem cooler if they tried."

Others said Brat being discussed on Fox News cements its icon status.

"I can’t believe that history books will be studying 'Brat' not just for the masterpiece that it is but for being a part of the branding for the 2024 election," an X user tweeted. "Fox News quoting brat is unreal."

The post Kamala Harris’ ‘Brat’ branding leaves Fox News hosts baffled appeared first on The Daily Dot.

People online are being duped by the claim that Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), who was recently picked as former President Donald Trump's running mate, previously admitted to having sex with a couch.

Where the JD Vance-couch rumor began

The rumor, which isn't true, first appeared on social media last week but didn't start going viral until recent days. On July 15, a user on X alleged that Vance wrote in his 2016 memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis," that he once stuck his penis into "an inside-out latex glove shoved between two couch cushions."

The original post from the X account, which has since gone private, has been gaining steam. The claim comes from those who seem to think the rumor is genuine.

"In his dreadful novel, 'Hillbilly Elegy,' JD Vance described having sex with a rubber glove secured between cushions on his couch," one user wrote. "Republicans chose him to be one heartbeat away from becoming POTUS. Voters in NC, the U.S. furniture capital, should be particularly horrified."

The Vance couch memes

As the rumor became more prominent, so did the reactions. Countless memes related to Vance and his couch have been rampant online ever since.

Even those who were aware that the claim wasn't true couldn't help but join in on the meme-making. One such user shared a fabricated press release from Vance in which he pushed back on those criticizing his fondness for his couch.

"I reject and rebuke the scurrilous rumors circulating about me on X and other platforms," the fake letter had Vance say. "Never in my life have I had sexual relations with a couch to completion. This is a life. Furthermore, I can assure you I haven't had any bare-skin contact with a couch in over five years."

One video mocking Vance and the false rumor about a relationship with his couch, set to the Barry White song "Never, Never Gonna Give Ya Up," has already been seen over 866,000 times on X.

Vance made no such admission in his book.

The post Why is everyone suddenly claiming J.D. Vance made love to a couch? appeared first on The Daily Dot.

Fans of Vice President Kamala Harris have turned their sights to Truth Social as former President Donald Trump ramped up his attacks against Harris on his personal platform.

Trump's initial posts in the wake of President Joe Biden announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election and endorsing Harris to succeed him as the Democratic nominee focused on criticizing Biden.

But since Monday afternoon, Trump pivoted to focus his attacks against Harris.

"Joe Biden will go down as the Worst President in the history of the United States. KAMALA, OUR HORRIBLE & INCOMPETENT BORDER CZAR, WILL BE WORSE!" Trump wrote in the first post that specifically mentioned Harris since Sunday's news.

In another, Trump blasted the "Fake News" for trying "to turn 'Dumb as a Rock' Kamala Harris from a totally failed and insignificant Vice President into a future 'Great' President."

He then shared a Daily Mail poll conducted July 1-3 that found Harris would lose to Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up by 11 points.

Other polls show a much tighter race with Trump leading by an average of just 1.9% nationwide. (In comparison, Trump had been leading Biden by an average of 3%).

Trump's post promoting the older poll is where traces of KHive, the term coined during the 2020 election for devoted pro-Harris posters, first began to emerge.

"I guess you should have spent your campaign money on RUNNING ON SOMETHING instead of running against someone," quipped one person, whose profile photo is an image of Harris and whose name included "YES WE KAM." "If your policies were good enough to run on, then the name on the democratic ballot would be irrelevant."

Someone else replied: "Kamala is calling out your multitude of crimes. She said; I KNOW DONALD TRUMP'S TYPE. You are so screwed."

In her first speech at campaign headquarters, Harris echoed an old video from her 2020 campaign that went viral again, highlighting her ability to prosecute career criminals.

As Trump continued his attacks against Harris in later posts, the presence of KHive in the replies only seemed to grow.

By Trump's latest post targeted Harris, writing "NBC News Poll: Lyin’ Kamala Harris is the most unpopular Vice President in history. WOW, that is not a great sound bite!," the migration of KHive to Truth Social was undeniable.

"Those numbers and the endorsements she's received in the past 35 indicate she's more popular than you would like," reads one reply, which has been liked 314 times. "Kamala Harris is going to kick your ass into the next year on election day in Roevember!"

"Keep lying in order for your fragile ego to feel better. This is what A REAL PRESIDENT looks like," another person wrote, along with a photo of Harris as Rosie the Riveter.

Someone else who similarly changed their profile photo to Harris wrote: "She will be a great President as she was VP. You lose Donald."

"Yet you are all having a melt down!!!" wrote another Truth account. "Ironic that a misogynistic racist is gonna lose to a black woman!!! Haha"

The majority of posts still overwhelmingly lean pro-Trump and anti-Harris, but KHive appears undeterred by the imbalance.

Harris fans on Truth Social have been unhesitant to spread their views, using a range of hashtags including "#YesWeKam," "#KHive," and "#KamalaForThePeople."

Users promoting those views include accounts with Harris profile photos and names such as "RepublicansForHarris," "KamalaNotConvict2024," and "Kamala’s gonna mop the floor with trump."

After a lone gunman attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump last Saturday at a Pennsylvania campaign rally, many unsubstantiated theories about the unprecedented incident surfaced. Some claimed that the Secret Service, who rushed Trump offstage after the shooting, secretly wanted him taken out. Others believed the shooting was staged to help the former president in the polls.

Now, some internet sleuths claim that an unidentified flying object—possibly a drone—flew over Trump shortly before the shooting. Ashton Forbes, a conspiracy theorist, posted a video of the apparent UFO on X on Saturday.

"People are saying there was a UFO at the Trump speech where the attempt on his life happened," Forbes tweeted. "There's definitely something flying across the screen."

In the video Forbes tweeted, a black object looks to be flying in the sky behind an American flag. The Daily Dot was unable to verify the provenance of the video Forbes posted.

Forbes also tweeted that he doesn't think the object was a bird or a "conventional drone." He said he has "no idea" what the object was and only posted the video because people repeatedly asked about it.

"Gotta give the people what they want," Forbes said.

Other prominent right-wing accounts posted their own theories about the apparent UFO.

"It appears that an object, maybe a small drone was flying pretty close," @WallStreetApes, a far-right X account with over 475,000 followers tweeted alongside a video of people ducking while onstage. "Was this someone with prior knowledge trying to film a better angle of the shooting?"

The video posted by @WallStreetApes came from "SlickHick420," a TikToker who has posted multiple videos about attending the Pennsylvania rally as well as the apparent UFO.

"Do you guys see it?" @SlickHick420 wrote in the caption of one of his videos about the rally.

Bill Mitchell, a far-right X figure with over 400,000 followers, also posted @SlickHick420's video.

"Was this a drone or UFO at the Trump shooting?" he tweeted.

While there is no official reporting on whether a UFO flew over Trump during his Pennsylvania rally, the FBI found a drone in the car of shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks.
