Video: Kamala Harris Stops to Admire ‘Shiny’ Plant Equipment—Employee Quickly Intervenes to Prevent a Painful Lesson
Kamala Harris narrowly avoided a painful mishap while touring a semiconductor manufacturing plant in Saginaw, Michigan. During her visit to Hemlock Semiconductors, Harris spotted a piece of shiny equipment and reached out to touch it, saying, “Can I touch it?” Thankfully, a quick-thinking plant employee stepped in just in time to prevent a potential accident.
The employee firmly cautioned, “Do not touch it… Please do not touch any of the poly—it is very sharp.” Harris laughed it off, replying, “Ok, glad I asked, it’s shiny,” and moved on with the tour.

The poly, likely referring to polycrystalline silicon, can be incredibly sharp and is sometimes used to create cutting tools. If Harris had placed her hand on the material, she could have sustained a painful cut, underscoring the serious safety risks involved in handling such industrial materials.
The Saginaw plant received a $325 million federal grant as part of the administration’s semiconductor push, and Harris’s visit was intended to spotlight her campaign’s commitment to manufacturing and job creation. The stop in Michigan is one of several aimed at appealing to working-class voters and bridging gaps with Arab American communities upset with the administration’s foreign policy.
As the election tightens in Michigan, every campaign appearance counts, and Harris’s light-hearted moment in the plant provides an unplanned snapshot of her bid to connect with voters in the Rust Belt state.

He should have told her to grab it and squeeze.
With her neck.
Too bad, she didn’t touch it with her carotid artery.
