Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, made a surprise appearance at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night, taking the stage to thank President Joe Biden after he was reportedly shoved out of the race a month ago.
“This is going to be a great week, and I want to kick us off by celebrating our incredible President Joe Biden, who will be speaking later tonight. Joe, thank you for your historic leadership, for your lifetime of service to our nation, and for all you will continue to do, we are forever grateful to you. Thank you, Joe,” Harris said.
“Looking out at everyone tonight, I see the beauty of our great nation. People from every corner of our country and every walk of life are here united by our shared vision for the future of our country, and this November, we will come together and declare with one voice, as one people, we are moving forward,” Harris added.
“With optimism, hope, and faith, so guided by our love of country, knowing we all have so much more in common than what separates us, let us fight for the ideals we hold dear, and let us always remember when we fight, we win,” the vice president continued.

Several on X, formerly known as Twitter, called out Harris for being “weird” and laughing.

Harris has been handed bad news from three polls showing she is losing support.
Two of the polls put her behind former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, a key swing state, and a third put her behind the Republican presidential candidate.
Two polls of potential Pennsylvania voters, one by Cygnal and one by Emerson College, gave Trump a one-point lead in the key state with 19 Electoral College votes.
A separate poll from the Napolitan News Service gave the former president a one-point lead across the country.
After Joe Biden quit the race and gave Harris his support on July 21, Harris quickly became the Democratic Party’s front-runner for the presidency. At first, this gave Democrats a clear poll boost.
In more than a dozen national polls, Harris did better than Trump, and she became the favorite to win in November with many of the biggest bookies.
“Between August 12 and 14, RMG Research polled 2,708 likely voters across the United States for Napolitan News Service, which found Trump leading Harris by 46 percent to 45 percent. When undecided voters leaning one way were included, Trump’s margin extended to 49 percent against 47 percent, compared to the last RMG poll a week ago, which put both candidates on 49 percent,” Newsweek reported.
“A Cygnal poll of 800 likely voters in Pennsylvania, conducted on August 14-15, found 44 percent would back Trump in a presidential contest versus 43 percent for Harris and 5 percent for independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Trump increased his polling by 2 points since the last Cygnal survey in July, while Kennedy saw his support fall by 4 points,” the outlet added.
It showed that Trump had a one-point lead over Harris, with 49% of the vote to 49% for Harris. This went up to 51% vs. 49% when people who aren’t sure but lean toward one candidate were added to that candidate’s pool.
When Kennedy was taken into account, Harris and Trump were tied with 47% of the vote, while the independent candidate had 3%.
According to the poll, voters under 40 were more likely to support Harris than Trump (61% to 36%). However, Trump had a bigger lead among voters 50 to 69 (57%) than among voters of any other age.
When it came to Protestant voters, Trump was ahead 58% to 40%, and when it came to Catholic voters, Trump was ahead 60% to 39%.
Eighty-four percent of atheist and agnostic voters chose Harris over thirteen percent, and 56 percent chose Harris over 39 percent of people who didn’t say what religion they followed.
Who slammed her? If it wasn’t the MSM, then 80% of the country has no idea.
Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a bit in it..............
Alcohol and drugs bring you joy.
Lol.
Kamalaladingdong is giving AOC a run for her money, mouth-wise.
And the fact the DNC scheduled Joe at midnight so Kacklin' Kammy and Joe were not seen by a large part of the US population. All planned.
OMG, she must have a Cliche Advisor. She used every
wornout cliche in the book in her scripted little speech.
That can be true of most everything, unfortunately.
I tuned in later, with the sound off! Most entertaining.
Good one, Red.
I was busy trimming my toenails..................
Well, in her defense — she was drunk at the time.
Much more worthwhile....LOL!
I thought it was generally thought of as unlucky for a candidate to appear on stage before the last night of the convention.
But of course, the Dems might say “What’s luck got to do with it?”
Kammy already got twenty million votes in the bag 10 weeks before the show election.
I guarantee she didn’t write that speech, and the beings that control her said “just read the words- don’t say one single word outside of what’s written for you”
“”Any Freeper watch it?””
Switched on and off from that to something else all evening until Biden came on and then the TV went off!!! I could abide some of Hillary, two seconds of AOC but I draw the line when the obozos speak whatever night that is...not even a scant second!!!!!!
Both of them could pull a stagecoach..............
“”I was busy trimming my toenails..””
You’re lucky to still be young enough to trim your own toenails...I can’t...
