Former Vice President Kamala Harris sharply criticized President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Wednesday, accusing him of misrepresenting the state of the country and failing to address the economic hardships facing many Americans.

In an interview with Aaron Parnas on his Substack program “The Parnas Perspective,” Harris said she watched Tuesday night’s speech and found it deeply misleading. “I watched it. It was full of lies. And, you know, when he wasn’t lying, he was — it reminded me of our kids going to show-and-tell at school. It was like — nothing that was true about really, how the American people right now, so many are suffering under the weight of high prices, unaffordable health care, unaffordable housing,” Harris said, reflecting on the president’s remarks.

She added that the tone and content of the speech felt predictable. “And, it was, you know, we’ve come to expect it. And, you know, some people have said it was really quite boring, and that there was nothing very interesting about it, because it was the same old, same old. The guy lying about what he intends to do, what he has done, and the state of our economy and the state of the world,” she said.

Trump delivered his first official State of the Union address of his second term on Tuesday evening, speaking at a time when public approval ratings have posed challenges for both him and his party. During the address, he highlighted what he described as major accomplishments since returning to office and criticized Democrats across a range of policy areas.

Opening his speech, the president portrayed the country as having undergone sweeping change under his leadership. “I can say with dignity and pride that we have achieved a transformation like no one has ever seen before, and a turnaround for the ages. We will never go back to where we were just a short time ago,” Trump said.

Harris, who mounted a high-profile campaign against Trump in 2024 that ended with his return to the White House, has frequently been mentioned as a possible Democratic contender in the 2028 presidential race. While speculation about another run continues, she has not publicly confirmed whether she intends to seek the nomination.
