Kamala Harris has been accused by Republicans of faking a phone call to a voter.
Marjorie Taylor Greene posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) showing the Democrat candidate speaking to a voter and then showing her phone to a small crowd. The video shows the phone displaying the camera function.
The Georgia Representative wrote: "Everything about Kamala Harris is FAKE! She can't even make a phone call without lying. What a joke!"

Laura Loomer, the conservative activist and commentator, also posted the clip, stating: "Today,@KamalaHarris pretended like she was on the phone with a voter. She flipped the phone around and you can clearly see she is faking the call because the camera app is open. All she does is LIE. How embarrassing."
Newsweek contacted the Harris campaign for comment on Tuesday evening. Newsweek has not been able to verify the accusation.

Benny Johnson, a conservative political commentator, also shared the clip and wrote: "Kamala exposed herself 'fake talking' to a voter on the phone when she shows the camera app open on screen,"
Eric Trump, the son of Harris' rival for the presidency, Donald Trump, shared Johnson's post, with the comment: "Unreal!"
In a divided America, voters headed to the polls Tuesday to make a defining choice between two vastly different visions for the nation's future, as the presidential race between Trump and Harris reached its climax.
With polls closed in Georgia—a crucial battleground state alongside several others—voters faced a pivotal decision: to return Trump to the White House or make history by electing Harris as the first female president. Millions of Americans cast their ballots on Election Day, adding to the 84 million who voted early, as they weighed two candidates offering sharply contrasting temperaments and approaches for the country.
Early results showed predictable victories, with Trump securing Kentucky and Indiana, while Harris took Vermont, indicating the entrenched partisan divide. But across the nation, voters voiced concerns that went beyond party lines: AP VoteCast, a survey of over 110,000 voters, revealed that issues such as the economy, immigration, and the future of democracy loomed large, reflecting a nation weary of polarization and yearning for change.
Despite a few isolated reports of technical issues and long lines, Election Day proceeded smoothly for most voters. Harris has pledged to work across party divides, addressing economic concerns and other pressing issues with a steady continuation of Biden's policies, while Trump promised radical changes, including sweeping tariffs, a vast federal workforce overhaul, and an aggressive immigration crackdown.
The race centered on seven swing states, including five that flipped to Biden in 2020 after Trump's 2016 victories: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia. Nevada and North Carolina were also fiercely contested.
Trump, casting his vote in Palm Beach, Florida, exuded confidence, telling reporters he felt "very confident." Harris, meanwhile, took to the airwaves in battleground states and rallied Democratic National Committee staff in Washington, arriving with her trademark snack, Doritos.
Greeting supporters, Harris expressed optimism, telling a cheering crowd, "This truly represents the best of who we are." When asked by reporters how she was feeling, she smiled and held up a phone, saying, "Gotta talk to voters."
