In the video, Harris appears to slur her words and seems somewhat bleary-eyed, leading many to question her sobriety. The video, which was released just before Thanksgiving, features Harris expressing gratitude to her supporters and reminding her campaign staff of their continued influence.
According to the Daily Mail, the video has not only raised eyebrows among social media users, but also among medical professionals. Dr. Carole Lieberman, a psychiatrist with experience working with alcoholics, stated that after viewing the video, she could not definitively rule out the possibility that Harris was under the influence of alcohol. She cited Harris's semi-closed eyes, slightly slurred speech, and exaggerated hand movements as potential indicators of alcohol consumption.

Dr. Stuart Fischer, an emergency medicine doctor based in New York City, echoed these sentiments, suggesting that Harris's head movements also hinted at possible alcohol intake. However, both doctors acknowledged that other factors such as fatigue or embarrassment could also be contributing to Harris's unusual demeanor. They also raised the possibility that Harris's behavior could be a side effect of undisclosed medication.

In the video, Harris is seen in a 13-minute national grassroots call with Tim Walz, thanking campaign staff for their efforts. The video was later posted as a 28-second clip on the Democrats' official page. Dr. Fischer noted that Harris's speech was slightly slurred and her head movements suggested a calming effect of an intoxicant. He also pointed out that Harris took unusually long pauses during which she closed her eyes, a behavior that is not typical as standard blinks only last between 100 to 150 milliseconds.
