Former Vice President Kamala Harris faced widespread online reaction after attempting to imitate President Donald Trump during a public appearance on Friday at the National Action Network Convention 2026 in New York City.
As The New York Post reported[1], Harris, 61, made the remarks during an onstage interview with National Action Network founder Al Sharpton, where the discussion focused on foreign policy and U.S. relationships abroad.
During her response, Harris attempted to characterize Trump’s approach to global affairs with an impression she described as resembling a “mob boss.”

“He kinda acts like a mob boss, so then he’s kinda like, ‘Well, you know, you take Eastern Europe, and I’ll take the Western Hemisphere,’” Harris said.
“And then you over there, you get Asia, and we’ll just divide it up,” she added, concluding the impression.

Harris also outlined upcoming travel plans, noting that she would be visiting several states, including North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Arkansas.
The former vice president previously ran for president in 2024, where she was defeated by President Trump.
The National Action Network Convention appearance marked one of Harris’s more high-profile public events in recent months, drawing attention both for her policy remarks and the viral clip of her attempted impression.
