Speaking at Coppin State University in Baltimore, Maryland, during a speech on climate change, Harris stated, "When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water." This comment, made in the context of discussing the Inflation Reduction Act, immediately raised concerns and drew attention to its alarming implications.
Congressman Thomas Massie responded to Harris' statement with a sarcastic remark, asking, "Are you the population she wants to reduce?" The White House later released an official transcript that acknowledged and corrected Harris' mistake. The word "population" was crossed out, and "pollution" was added within brackets, clarifying that the intended message was apparently meant to be about reducing pollution rather than population.

Unfortunately for Harris, this was not the only blunder she made during the week. In a meeting with labor union and progressive leaders, the Vice President struggled to provide a clear definition of artificial intelligence (AI). Her response resulted in what some described as a "word salad." Harris said, "I think the first part of this issue that should be articulated is AI is kind of a fancy thing. First of all, it’s two letters. It means artificial intelligence, but ultimately what it is, is it’s about machine learning."

As the Vice President, it is crucial for her to articulate her positions clearly and accurately, especially when discussing complex topics such as climate change and technology.
