A deflated Vice President Kamala Harris emerged Tuesday, filming a short video message to her supporters that was posted to the Democratic Party’s X account.
“I just need to remind you: never let anyone take your power from you. You have the same power as you did before November 5,” she said, referring to the date of the presidential election she lost to newly elected President Donald Trump.
Over the past three weeks, Trump has kicked off his transition by appointing a slew of Cabinet officials.
Earlier Tuesday, his team announced they had ended a transition standoff with the Biden White House.
Harris, meanwhile, had headed to Hawaii for a post-election vacation and arrived in the Bay Area on Monday to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with family.
She was dressed in work clothes for the video in what appeared to be a living room and looked teary-eyed as she delivered the 28-second message.
“And you have the same goal as you. And you have the same ability to engage and inspire,” she continued. “So never let anyone or any circumstance take your power from you.”
It’s unclear what prompted the VP to give the pep talk, though online commenters suggested she wasn’t sober.

“Have you been drinking?” asked actor Kevin Sorbo in an X-post responding to the Democrat’s video.
“Phew, she looks rough. A few too many drinks?’ said another commenter.
Harris and her husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, spent six days at a $1,300-a-night vacation rental on the Big Island of Hawaii, rarely going out in public, DailyMail.com reported Monday.
The house was a 5,000-square-foot, five-bedroom property owned by a scion of the Mondavi wine family.
And according to the online listthe rental price included ‘three free bottles of Mondavi family wine with every reservation.’
The vice president is reportedly leaving the door open for a future presidential candidate.
She first ran for the White House during the 2020 cycle, but ultimately dropped out in late 2019, even before the Iowa caucuses.
Biden then chose her as his running mate.
She was pushed to the top of the list in July after Democratic Party leaders pushed Biden, now 82, to step aside after his disastrous debate performance against Trump in late June heightened concerns about old age.

Although polls showed her narrowly ahead of Trump, she ultimately lost all seven battleground states to the new Republican commander in chief.
Questions swirled about how the Harris campaign raised more than $1 billion — with fingers pointed at the celebrity-filled concert rallies in swing states that took place in the final days of the campaign.
Democrats had also touted that they had a better organized ground game compared to Trump, but his team’s message — that he was better on the economy and on immigration — outsmarted them.
Harris officially conceded the afternoon after the election – on the campus of her alma mater Howard University – where her election night was held.
Some of her supporters in the crowd wept openly.
Her first post-election public appearance alongside Biden came on November 11, when they both attended a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington Cemetery.
The location created a gloomy appearance, with Dr. Jill Biden memorably sat stone-faced next to the vice president.
Two days later, the Bidens invited Trump to join them at the White House, where the Democrat congratulated the Republican on his election victory.
