The Trump campaign recently went public Saturday night with an allegation of rumors about Kamala Harris having a serious drinking problem via The Gateway Pundit.
James Blair, political director for the Trump 2024 presidential campaign and the RNC posted on X, “A lot of rumors out there about Kamala having a serious drinking problem…apparently coming into focus as campaign heats up. ⏳Stay Tuned…”

A video clip of Harris on Thursday introducing Joe Biden made some wonder if she has a drinking problem:

In August 2020 Harris was picked by Joe Biden to be his vice presidential running mate and the San Francisco Chronicle reported on Harris’ fondness for booze with the headline, “Kamala Harris, the only major candidate who drinks booze, has great taste in wine”
Also in August 2020, Washingtonian magazine reported on Harris being a regular at D.C. wine bars in an article headlined, “Kamala Harris Knows Her Wine” (excerpt):
When Kamala Harris got the VP nom yesterday, Cork Wine Bar decided to nominate itself as the “Official #WineBar of #KamalaHarrisForVP.” (Oakland or San Francisco challengers welcome.) The 14th Street bar and market tweeted a photo of owners Khalid Pitts and Diane Gross—who famously filed an unfair competition lawsuit against the Trump hotel—alongside the California congresswoman at a holiday party she hosted there for staff last year.
Harris has been to Cork several times with other political counterparts and hosted a fundraiser there as a presidential candidate. As the senator of a top winemaking state and a member of the Congressional Wine Caucus, perhaps it’s no surprise Harris is pretty savvy about wine.
“You know if you go to a foreign country and you know like six phrases or something? She’s well beyond that,” says Pitts. “She can talk about different varietals. She can talk about differences between California oak and French oak… She knows what she likes and doesn’t like, and knows why she doesn’t like it.”
And exactly what it is she likes to drink? Pitts only offers this: “She does like her California wines, but she does have a great appreciation for Old World wines as well, because we don’t do domestic wines at Cork.”
This rumor about Harris’ drinking from an anonymous account on X Twitter with 169,000 followers went viral after being posted after midnight Saturday and has nearly three million views, “Apparently Kamala’s aids are having trouble keeping her sober which is why she’s only doing the scheduled rallies. Every time she gets off the plane she’s apparently drunk so that’s why they are hiding her from the press.”
