Here's the Transcript In the months leading up to the 2024 U.S. presidential election, online users shared a brief, years-old video clip showing U.S. Vice President and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris saying the words, "You know, we have to stay 'woke.' Like, everybody needs to be 'woke.' And you can talk about if you're the 'wokest' or 'woker' but just a more 'woke' than less 'woke.'" The reason why users and publishers shared the old remark just months before the November election was to apparently stoke fears of a purported radical liberal "woke" agenda should Americans elect Harris as the nation's 47th president. We present the context behind Harris' words, provide information about the evolution of the term "woke" and include a transcription of her answers. Snopes Senior Reporter Jordan Liles has the details.
