Kamala Harris’s political career might be recovering faster than her public image after her shattering loss to President Trump in the 2024 election, but it seems the shadows of her past still loom large. Following her defeat, the former Vice President has opted for a long sabbatical from the limelight — which is likely a smart choice considering how far down the rabbit hole her reputation has plummeted.
Despite being largely out of the news, the specter of alleged sobriety issues has resurfaced, thanks to a recent viral video that has people questioning whether Kamala Harris might have taken her usual wine tasting a bit too far. The allegations, while not formally documented, are gaining traction faster than a press release from the White House. Harris was spotted sipping from a wine glass at an event, a distinct departure from her usual photo-ops with wholesome smoothies and obligatory health consciousness.

A recent appearance speaking to cast members of Broadway’s “A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical” sent the internet into a tizzy, with many viewers pondering whether the former presidential hopeful had enjoyed a little too much “liquid encouragement” beforehand. The viral clip sparked comments ranging from amusing observations about her habits to outright insinuations about her well-being. The online speculation could fill an entire newspaper, with many users jumping to conclusions based on her unusual gestures and demeanor during the encounter.
While it’s essential to remember that these are just allegations, one can’t help but notice a pattern. Add her erratic talking style, which in a previous lifetime got labeled as “word salad,” and it paints a colorful picture. Already facing scrutiny for failing to win a single primary vote in her initial presidential run, Harris’s potential 2028 ambitions may be further dampened by whispers of excessive indulgence. A reputation that incorporates the phrase “sloshed” will only serve to further tarnish her image in a pool of political rivals.
The implications of these accusations could weigh heavily on her political future. If the perceptions of public drunkenness and self-indulgent behavior take root, she might find the path to the presidency is riddled with obstacles and disdain. With a history of presiding over a chaotic administration and further complicating her image with her continued awkwardness, the last thing Harris needed was for the world to think of her as the party-girl in a professional dress. For now, as she hides from the spotlight, it appears Harris is receiving some much-needed advice from the classic guide: “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Too bad lemonade doesn’t always pair well with pinot grigio.
