Democrat White House hopeful Kamala Harris asked a crowd whether America was ready for her presidency and they responded with a 'no.'

'There's this whole conversation that has been coming up about electability focused on our campaign,' Harris told a room full of people during a town hall event in Reno, Nevada.

'Is America ready for that?,' she asked.

Several audience members chimed in, shouting 'no' from their seats.

Democrat Senator and presidential hopeful, Kamala Harris, was speaking to a crowd at a town hall in Reno, Nevada when she made the mistake of asking them whether they were ready for her presidency. Several members of the crowd chimed in by answering 'no'

Harris (pictured), was speaking to striking workers at a General Motors facility just north of Reno on Thursday. Harris says that she plans to stand in solidarity with unions who are responsible for creating a middle class. She said that the middle classes are under siege by the Trump administration

Harris doubled back and looked sternly towards the dissenters and appeared visibly shocked with their disagreement.

'Well, yes they are,' Harris argued, causing a ripple of laughter through the hall.

The California Senator said earlier in the speech that she wanted to 'not waste your time' and 'engage in real talk' about the 2020 campaign race.

Harris's blooper reminded many on social media of Jeb Bush's blunder before the 2016 election when he asked people to 'please clap' at a campaign stop.

On a campaign stop in 2016, Jeb Bush asked audience members 'please clap' as he ended his speech. Unlike Harris, Bush's audience obliged him

Some social media users suggested that Harris had modified her accent and adopted the slang term 'real talk' to speak to the town hall in Reno

Others said that her use of the term 'real talk' and a different accent were attempts to change her image for different demographics.

Twitter user Ranimal said: 'Is she trying to be like “hip” or “cool” with how she talks?'

'Why does she always sound drunk or high?' added MarilynBojanow1.

Others, however, believe that the presidential candidate is inauthentic and not prepared for campaigning across the country.

'She's never had to campaign outside of her liberal bubble of San Francisco and California and is falling flat on her face,' tweeted Stallion2011.

The Democratic hopeful has taken a swing at negative tweeting in the past, targeting on the President's online presence. She asked Twitter to suspend Trump's account, arguing that his posts caused people harm and 'beat them down.

'The president's tweets and his behaviors about this are just further evidence of the fact that he uses his power in a way that is designed to beat people down instead of lift people up,' Harris said on CNN Monday night.

Kamala Harris called on Twitter to suspend Donald Trump's account

'Frankly, when you look at what he's been tweeting today directed at the whistle-blower, directed at so many people, you know, I, frankly, think that based on this and all we've seen him do before, including attacking members of Congress, that he, frankly, should be - his Twitter account should be suspended,' she added.

Harris has dropped in popularity over recent weeks after starting a strong campaign. She received just seven per cent of support among likely Democrat voters, according to a Fox News poll.

The poll, which was conducted between Friday and Monday, surveyed 506 Democratic primary voters. Biden has good reason to worry about Warren, who holds an advantage in voter enthusiasm.

Of those polled, 35 per cent of voters say they’re ‘enthusiastic’ about Warren - which is up 9 points since June. Another 35 per cent said they were ‘comfortable’ with Warren as the nominee. Just six per cent said they were ‘very uncomfortable.’

Biden, on the other hand, has just 23 percent of voters who are enthusiastic about his candidacy, while 41 per cent are comfortable.Biden saw his support jump by five percentage points compared to July, while Warren’s position improved by six percentage points.
