Trump's campaign has criticized Vice President Kamala Harris' laugh, calling it "crazy" and a "cackle" in recent weeks. Experts say labeling a woman's emotions as "hysterical" is an age-old tactic to undermine female pleasure and enjoyment. Others say it underscores racial biases, suggesting that as a non-white woman, she isn't entitled to display joy publicly. On TikTok, her laugh in the background of viral sounds has sparked predominantly positive discourse since she became the de facto nominee.
