This is getting bad. \ud83d\udc40&#8221; However, this claim has been deemed false. The original footage, recorded by CBS News on the first night of the DNC, shows Harris standing and applauding multiple times during President Joe Biden&#8217;s speech. There is no evidence supporting claims of her being intoxicated.<\/p>\n<p>According to a report from The Washington Post, Harris&#8217; campaign raised over $300 million in July\u2014three times more than former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee combined for that month\u2014and had $377 million available as they entered August.<\/p>\n<p>The viral video has garnered two million views but misrepresents what occurred at the convention.
