Welcome to our blog!
The recent Trump campaign ad featuring Vice President Kamala Harris has caused quite a stir, with many speculating that the clips of Harris were artificially generated. However, our investigation reveals that the clips in the ad are indeed real.
In the ad released on Aug. 26, two individuals are shown watching a debate between two versions of Harris. One clip shows Harris talking about the high prices of everyday essentials, while another clip features her attributing these price increases to “Bidenomics.” The ad aims to highlight what appears to be a contradiction in Harris’s statements about the economy under President Biden’s administration.
Despite the rumors circulating about AI-generated content, it is confirmed that the clips of Harris used in the ad are authentic. These clips were taken from two separate events in August 2023 and August 2024, where Harris made similar remarks about the economy and the impact of Biden’s policies.
The Verdict
Contrary to speculation, the Trump campaign ad did not employ AI-generated clips of Kamala Harris. The ad used real footage from two distinct events and edited them together to create a narrative. Our verification process included cross-referencing the clips with CSPAN broadcasts and White House transcripts to confirm their authenticity.
