Former 2016 presidential candidate and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton released a new ad promoting Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential bid on social media, though replies to the post have been limited.
The ad, paid for by the Harris campaign, features Clinton discussing the “generational change” Harris would bring as president. Replies to the video ad are only limited to people Clinton is following on X, similar to most of her other posts on the platform. Clinton follows roughly 1,000 users.
“A lot of us has put some big cracks in that glass ceiling,” Clinton says in the ad. “There was a purpose behind it and that purpose was the freedom to be yourself, the freedom to go as far as your hard work and talent will take you, to stand up for what’s right and good in America and against the kind of violence and chaos and corruption that too many on the other side try to impose upon us.”
Just 13 days until Election Day, here’s my take (with J.J. Abrams!) on why @KamalaHarris is the right choice to be our president. pic.twitter.com/vqm4h4KDBK

Clinton has also published the ad on her Instagram account, where comments are also limited. Noticeably, the comments are not turned off on Clinton’s Facebook account, where she also posted the ad.

The former presidential candidate stumping for Harris comes after Clinton lost her presidential bid to then-presidential candidate Donald Trump in the 2016 election, in which many predicted a Clinton victory. When asked if she wished she had become the first female president instead of Harris, Clinton replied “not anymore,” explaining that Harris is “the right person for our country at this time.”
Polling data released Monday, conducted among 5,000 registered voters, found that Trump and Harris were in a dead heat at 47% among all respondents, while Harris had a 1% advantage among likely voters. The former president revealed on Wednesday that he intends to vote early rather than wait until Election Day, in line with the Trump campaign’s push for early voting.
