The Truth Behind Kamala Harris’ Earrings at the Presidential Debate
During the recent presidential debate, Vice President Kamala Harris wore a stunning pair of Tiffany pearl earrings that caught the attention of many viewers. However, some false claims started circulating on social media suggesting that Harris was wearing “audio” or “earphone” earrings, insinuating that she was being coached secretly during the debate.
Conservative commentator Laura Loomer also fueled these claims by pointing out Harris’ choice of earrings on social media. Photos of the Nova H1 audio earrings were shared, which are described as wireless earphones embedded in a pair of pearl earrings, leading to further speculation.
The Question
Did Kamala Harris wear Nova H1 audio earrings during the Sept. 10 presidential debate?
The Answer
No, Kamala Harris did not wear Nova H1 audio earrings during the presidential debate. There are clear differences between these earrings and the pair Harris wore during the debate.
What We Found
While the Nova H1 earrings may appear similar to the ones worn by Harris, there are distinct disparities between the two. Harris’ earrings from Tiffany & Co. are part of the HardWear Collection and feature South Sea pearls, as confirmed by blogger Susan Kelley who tracks the vice president’s fashion choices.
The Nova H1 audio earrings, on the other hand, are wireless earphones embedded in pearl earrings, produced by Icebach Sound Solutions. These earrings have a bulkier clip design that differs from Harris’ elegant pearl earrings.
Photos taken by the Associated Press clearly show that Harris was wearing a different style of earrings, with a pearl and two prongs circling around her earlobe in a unique “J” shape.
The speculation surrounding Harris’ earrings during the debate is unfounded, as confirmed by multiple sources and visual evidence.
ABC News’ rules for the Sept. 10 presidential debate explicitly stated that no props or external devices would be allowed on stage, ensuring a fair environment for both candidates.
The claims regarding Harris’ earrings are just one instance of false information circulating after political debates, as seen in previous instances involving President Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
In conclusion, Kamala Harris did not wear Nova H1 audio earrings during the debate, and the claims suggesting otherwise lack factual basis.
