The Democrats posted a photo on X (formerly Twitter) of Vice President Kamala Harris at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
The image shows Harris smiling amid a sea of blue Michelle Obama signs.
The Democrats captioned the photo: “There are only 15 days until the Democratic National Convention. Who’s excited?”

The Democrats claim the image compares the enthusiasm for Michelle Obama in 2008 with the excitement Harris’ nomination has generated today.
However, X user Raheem Kassam says the Democrats posted the photo to show who’s really calling all the shots.
Kassam wrote: “For those wondering, this picture is from DNC 08, during Michelle Obama’s speech. It’s their way of telling you who is really in charge, as has been the case since 2008: the Obamas.”

But others believe the photo is a hint that Michelle Obama is the actual Democratic nominee for president.
Harris is set to announce her running mate on Tuesday, August 6.
But why post it now? that is so #WeirdAF

It’s also their way of saying who the final nominee will be

It's strange to use an old photo like this.. 2008 was an age ago.

No it's actually going to be Michelle Obama, Harris is just faking campaign but she's been promised a Supreme court Justice position.
