Harris is running an awful campaign. Every move she makes keeps sinking her further in the polls.
And Kamala Harris collapsed on stage during a rally after making this humiliating statement.
At a rally in Michigan on Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris surprised the crowd with an unusual request that temporarily halted their excitement.
The gathering in Ann Arbor had been energetic, as Harris addressed a crowd of supporters eager to show their enthusiasm.
“We are all here because we are fighting for a democracy and for the right of people to be heard and seen,” Harris declared to a spirited audience.
“We’re not about the enemy within. We know we are all in this together. That’s what we are fighting for.” Her words were met with loud applause, and chants of “Ka-ma-la, Ka-ma-la” filled the air.
But in a surprising twist, Harris attempted to shift the mood with what some online critics later labeled a “cringe” moment.
“Now I want each of you to shout your own name. Do that,” Harris urged, prompting visible confusion in the crowd.
The once-boisterous audience fell nearly silent, and Harris chuckled as she noticed the awkwardness of the moment. “It’s about all of us,” she added, moving quickly back into her speech.
The moment didn’t go unnoticed on social media. Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller posted the clip on X, accompanied by a string of facepalm emojis, and comments flooded in.
“Classic Kamala! Her lack of connection with the audience is cringeworthy,” wrote one user.

Comparisons were quickly drawn to the fictional vice president Selina Meyer from the HBO series Veep, with another X user joking, “I swear they could redo Veep with clips of Kamala and it would be even funnier than the original.”
Earlier that day, Harris also raised some eyebrows during a tour of a semiconductor plant in Saginaw when she asked if she could touch a razor-sharp piece of silicon on display. “Do not touch it,” a factory worker, wearing a hard hat, quickly warned as her hand hovered near the silicon rod.
The Vice President of the United States, ladies and gentlemen.

This is straight out of Veep.

At the Ann Arbor event, Harris was joined by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers, who performed several songs before Harris took the stage.
However, some attendees were left disappointed last week when Grammy-winning artist Beyoncé made only a brief appearance at a Houston rally for Harris, leaving fans hoping for a performance.

In Michigan’s latest polling averages, the race remains tight, with Harris trailing former President Donald Trump by a slim margin of 0.1%. With 15 Electoral College votes on the line, Michigan’s outcome could play a crucial role in the upcoming election.
