Vice President Kamala Harris is back in the battleground state of Pennsylvania on Sunday, where she spoke before a Philadelphia church congregation and subsequently came under fire from social media commenters for allegedly unveiling a "new accent" during the event.Â
"BREAKING: Kamala Harris unveils a new accent at a black Philadelphia church," popular conservative X account "End Wokeness" posted Sunday accompanied by video of Harris at the event.Â
Harris traveled to the Church of Christian Compassion in Philadelphia on Sunday morning, where she spoke to the predominantly Black congregants, telling them that in just nine days, voters will "have the power to decide the fate of our nation for generations to come."
"Here in Pennsylvania, right now each of us has an opportunity to make a difference. Because in this moment we do face a real question. What kind of country do we want to live in?" she said. "The great thing about living in a democracy is we the people have the choice to answer that question. So let us answer not just with our words, but with our works."

Harris cited the Book of Psalms in her remarks, including saying: "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the mornin'. The path may seem hard, the work may seem heavy, but joy cometh in the mornin' and church morning is on its way."Â
Critics on social media pounced on clips of Harris quoting Psalms, saying she debuted a new "pastor" accent, comparing her inflection to Martin Luther King's tenor.Â
Passengers aboard American Airlines Flight 73 from Los Angeles to Sydney were left in uproar after the plane made a sudden U-turn just over half an hour into its journey.
