Kamala Harris Stumbles Over Words at Georgia Rally

Former Vice President Kamala Harris inadvertently referred to Sen. Jon Ossoff as "the next ... and continuing senator from the state of Georgia" during a rally for campaign volunteers in Georgia on Thursday. She quickly corrected herself after the brief verbal stumble.

Harris, who has been campaigning for Democrats in multiple states, spoke at the small rally in support of Ossoff. She criticized the Trump administration's policies, including what she described as "reckless tariffs," a "war nobody asked for," and cuts to Medicaid and food stamps.

She also addressed the volunteers, praising their grassroots efforts and offering advice. "The thing about being a role model is in the process of pursuing your excellence, with all the hard work that requires, you are lifting up folks you don’t even know," Harris said. "You are lifting up folks who may never know your name or mine, folks you may never meet, but because they are aware of what you are and what you do, they are forever inspired, and that is a great gift you are giving our country."

When encouraged by the audience to continue speaking, Harris shared further advice about navigating professional environments. "In your careers, there will probably be many moments when you are in a room where you are the only person like you," she stated. "The only person who looks like you, the only person who has had your life experience, but one of the things I require you to remember when you walk in that room: I require you to be you."

Earlier on Thursday, President Trump held a campaign rally in Rock Hill, South Carolina, for Sen. Darline Graham, and Vice President JD Vance headlined a rally in Weatherford, Texas, for Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton. These events occur as early voting concludes in several states.
