A social media account of white male supporters of Kamala Harris on X (formerly Twitter), which raised $4 million for Harris' campaign, was temporarily suspended on Monday (July 29). The incident sparked fury among the Harris supporters, who called it 'election interference.'

The White Dudes for Harris X account hosted a Zoom call on Monday night, successfully raising over $4 million for Harris' presidential campaign.&nbsp;

More than 200,000 Democrats participated in the online event, which featured notable White male celebrities such as Mark Hamill, Jeff Bridges, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bradley Whitford, Sean Astin, and Josh Groban.

The reason for the account's suspension remains unclear, but it appeared to be reinstated by early Tuesday. The suspension notice stated: "X suspends accounts which violate the X rules."

After the suspension, Ross Morales Rocketto, one of the group's organisers, tweeted, "Got @elonmusk [X owner] scared."

After a brief suspension, the organisers set up a backup account @dudesforharris, which swiftly attracted over 20,000 followers before the original account was reinstated. The ban sparked concerns among Democrats about Musk, who has labelled himself a “free speech absolutist.”

Once the suspension was lifted, the group tweeted, “Uh oh... we pissed off @elonmusk (don't worry... can't keep a good dude offline for long).” The post quickly gained thousands of views, leading Democratic supporters to accuse the Tesla founder of “election interference.”

X suspends ‘White Dudes for Harris’ account; Democrats accuse it of ‘election interference’

At a Detroit Democratic fundraiser on Saturday (June 8) night, US Vice President Kamala Harris lost all patience with a yelling protester and told her, rather strongly, that it was Harris' turn to speak.

At a Detroit Democratic fundraiser on Saturday (June 8) night, US Vice President Kamala Harris lost all patience with a yelling protester and told her, rather strongly, that it was Harris' turn to speak. At the $200-a-plate Michigan Democratic Party Legacy Dinner, the vice president started by openly addressing the violence in Gaza to ease tensions that would have been raised by pro-Palestinian protesters. Harris' attempts remained in vain because, as the Vice President spoke, the audience erupted in several pro-Palestinian chants, with one lady calling out, "It's genocide!" many times. Harris stopped her address to express her disapproval of the heckler. “For the past eight months, President Biden and I have been working every day to bring this conflict— I’m speaking right now. I value and respect your voice, but I’m speaking right now,” she said as the protester was pulled from the room by security. She spoke into the microphone and stated, "It's time for this war to end," using language that Biden has been using more frequently lately. Also read: Israel alleges Gaza associated with Al Jazeera held three hostages, media denies connection Although Harris was able to continue with the speech after these remarks appeared to calm the audience, the incident was a major gut check for both Biden and her. There are a lot of Arab Americans in Michigan, particularly in and around Detroit. The state is home to almost 300,000 people of Arab heritage, many of whom are from Gaza. For them, the conflict between Israel, a US ally, and the terrorist forces of Hamas is serious. Despite being US citizens, they have friends, family and parents who are serving in the military.

After just six months in the White House as the Vice President of the United States, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/kamala-harris">Kamala Harris</a> has become the most unpopular VP since at least the 1970s.

Recent polls have revealed that Kamala Harris’ ratings have hit a record low as the majority of the Americans disapprove of her job performance.

As per local polls reported in the local media, such as the Telegraph, Harris’ ratings have dipped so low that she is now being indicated to be "underwater".

Two recent polls have concluded that 46 per cent of Americans approved of Harris, whereas 47 and 48 per cent of locals disapproved of the new VP. On the other hand, US President Joe Biden has gained 51.3 per cent approval, while only 44.9 per cent disapproved.

Her low ratings have come as a surprise as Democrats had expected her to not only help in Biden’s victory in US election 2020, but some strategists had also hoped that she would be able to replace Biden in the next elections.

Harris is the first African-American, Indian-origin female Vice President of the United States. During her campaigning days in the US election 2020, she had gained momentum on social media platforms for her Indian-origin-related posts, her boss-like styling, and her social media presence, along with her academic achievements.

However, her unpopularity has been seen majorly in the young people. A recent poll by YouGive/Economist showed that young people aged between 18-29 years found Harris "unfavourable" and only 36 per cent found her to be "favourable".

Her rating has also suffered in Hispanic voters, which might be a result of her role in US border policy.

The White House now aims to send her only in a few selected areas for campaigning, ahead of next year’s midterm congressional elections. Biden administration is also hoping to lift her ratings globally by sending her on more foreign trips in the coming months.

'Underwater': Polls suggest Kamala Harris least popular Vice President since 1970s

America chose Kamala Harris as its next vice president in November's elections but Saturday Night Live makers had Maya Rudolf in their minds to play her months before the election.&nbsp;"More and more, there are some people that our audience casts," the show's&nbsp;creator and executive producer told EW during an interview.

"When Sarah Palin had that [first] debate," he recalls, "I got two or three emails — because this was a period of emails — 'It's Tina Fey!" She was Tina Fey. I was walking out of my building on the way to the studio on that Monday and my doorman said, 'Mr. Michaels, Tina Fey. It's like a no brainer.' And then I heard it three or four more times that day. So when I got sent a couple of memes of Maya, I just realised."

Rudolph was flattered by the offer.&nbsp;"Yeah, I smelled it coming," she laughs. "And I remember when Tina smelled it coming for Sarah Palin. It's funny. It was almost like a red herring early on, when I wasn't on the show anymore and Rachel Dolezal was in the news and everyone was talking about it I was like, 'I'm going to get the call.' It felt like that, but much more rewarding. "

Despite her entire life and family residing in Los Angeles, Maya&nbsp;persisted and travelled to and fro amid the pandemic. 
 
"A huge element of working at SNL is the political portion of it," she says. "But it's rare to be involved in a presidential campaign... I think knowing that there was a candidate that I resembled so much was so cool in and of itself. And then icing on the cake is just simply getting to do it on the show, a place that I feel so at home in, and that I love. But also it's just the charge of this time and being able to have any sort of voice in the story. I also just felt really lucky that we figured out a way to have fun with her early on and make her a joyful character."
