Social media was abuzz with rumors and speculations from netizens after the 2024 presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in Philadelphia on September 10. As viewers dissected the candidates’ performances, attention quickly shifted to a different subject: Kamala Harris’s choice of earrings
The Earring Controversy
Speculation arose when a user with the handle “X” posted images comparing the Nova H1 Audio Earrings, a pair of advanced earrings capable of delivering audio directly to the wearer’s ear, to the similar earrings worn by Harris during the debate.
The user speculated that Harris might have been using the earrings to receive real-time assistance during the debate. This post quickly gained traction, with many alleging that she was being fed lines through the discreet audio device.
The Nova H1 Audio Earrings are clip-on, gold or silver-plated pearl earrings that can also function as wireless earphones. These innovative earrings, created by Nova Products, incorporate speakers within their design and closely resemble the pearl earrings that Harris was observed wearing that evening.
The Truth About the Earrings
The earrings worn by Harris are more likely Tiffany Hardwear pearl earrings than the Nova H1 Audio Earrings as she has been seen wearing the earrings for a long time. High-resolution images of Harris from an earlier event, where she addressed NCAA championship teams, show her wearing the same jewelry. Upon closer inspection, these earrings were identified as clip-on pearls, which differ from Nova’s signature audio jewelry.
Even if Harris had modified the Nova H1’s design by swapping out the frame, it would be impractical because the frame houses all the essential electronics. Removing it would render the earpiece useless, leaving only the decorative pearl intact. The accusations are most likely baseless speculations and lack concrete evidence.
Trump and Harris Debate: How it Played Out
Harris and Trump sparred on several major issues, including the economy, health care, abortion, and foreign policy. The fiery debate began with a handshake between Harris and Trump.
Harris seemed on top from the beginning, throwing jabs at Trump and visibly laughing at some of Trump’s comments.
After the debate, many Republicans and Liberals agreed that Kamala Harris outperformed Donald Trump. A CNN poll by SSRS found that 63% of debate watchers believed Vice President Kamala Harris won, while 37% favored former President Donald Trump.
