Vice President Kamala Harris found herself in an awkward moment during a live Zoom broadcast on Hurricane Milton preparation. While the session was being streamed, she appeared to stumble through a question that some speculate may have been fed to her by someone off-camera. The gaffe was caught live, and viewers quickly took notice.
In a clip circulating online, Harris can be heard saying, “It’s a live broadcast!”—a clear indication that the unexpected flub wasn’t meant to be aired. It’s likely her staff didn’t expect the slip-up to be so public, and you can imagine the tension behind the scenes afterward.
But that wasn’t her only misstep of the day. Just 20 minutes earlier, another video clip surfaced where Harris made another blunder, adding to the already mounting criticism. The incident has drawn comparisons, with some saying she’s making President Joe Biden look poised in comparison.
While Biden led an in-person briefing with the media, Harris participated remotely via Zoom, and the contrast between the two moments was striking.
