CHICAGO — Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to have a minor verbal slip-up at her rally in Milwaukee on Tuesday night as she vowed to “do her hard work” to win the White House — actually, she meant “work.”
“We know it’s going to be a close race all the way down. There’s hard work ahead of us. There’s hard work ahead of us, but we like hard work. Hard work is good work,” the Democratic presidential candidate said.
“And with your help, we will win this November – we will, because we will do our best over the next 77 days.”
One rally participant said he flinched when he heard the slip-up.
The term “woke” is often used by Republican officials to denounce what they see as excessive political correctness.
“You’ve already won!” one participant shouted back.
“No, we haven’t won yet, we still have 77 days of work ahead of us, my friends,” she replied.
Outgoing President Biden, 81, regularly makes faux pas in his public statements – but 59-year-old Harris is not known for this so far.
Harris, who replaced Biden as the party’s nominee when he announced his retirement on July 21, will deliver her nomination acceptance speech on Thursday on the final night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
