Per Fox News:
Vice President Kamala Harris raised eyebrows during her Labor Day rally in Detroit, Michigan, unveiling what critics call a new “accent.”
Harris spent her Monday holiday in the Motor City hoping to shore up blue-collar union workers in the critical battleground state that she wants to keep blue in the November election.
“You better thank a union member for the five-day work week,” Harris told the crowd with a noticeable shift in her dialect. “You better thank a union member for sick leave. You better thank a union member for paid leave. You better thank a union member for vacation time.”
The conservative X account Johnny MAGA shared a clip knocking Harris’ “Detroit speak,” calling the VP “cringe and fake.”

Here’s what The Daily Mail reported:
Harris has faced allegations and mockery of allegedly using different accents before, and the claims, and they are now emerging with just two months until election day.
‘New Kamala accent just dropped,’ one X user wrote in response to a clip of Harris speaking to a teacher’s union at a high school in Detroit, Michigan on Monday.
In her remarks, social media users claim that Harris adopted an urban accent to relate to the working class crowd.
‘You may not be a union member but you better thank a union member for the five day work week,’ Harris said in a tone of voice atypical of the one she uses in her usual stump speeches.
ADVERTISEMENTShe went on: ‘You better thank a union member for sick leave. You better thank a union member for paid leave. You better thank a union member for vacation time.’
‘I’m from California. We all talk like this,’ an X user sarcastically wrote alongside a phonetic spelling of how Harris spoke in her remarks: ‘I’m gonna make sure to thanka union memba today.’
