Kamala Harris Misstates Role at Jackson Lee Funeral

During a eulogy for the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee in Houston, Vice President Kamala Harris accidentally referred to herself as 'president,' prompting enthusiastic cheers from the crowd. Harris quickly corrected herself, but the slip-up went viral, drawing significant attention on social media. The eulogy highlighted Lee's contributions, including her role in making Juneteenth a federal holiday and championing women's and LGBTQ rights. Harris, who is the presumptive Democratic nominee for the 2024 election, was joined by notable Democratic leaders and praised Lee as a relentless and courageous legislator. Despite the gaffe, Harris' speech was well-received, reflecting Lee's impactful legacy. This incident comes amid increased scrutiny of Harris as she steps into a more prominent role following President Biden's decision not to seek re-election.
