Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a meandering aside about democracy on Sunday, giving her critics more fodder with which to mock the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate.
Harris spoke during a stop on a multi-city bus tour in the battleground state of Pennsylvania along with her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and their spouses.
“Our election is about understanding the importance of this beautiful country of ours in terms of what we stand for around the globe as a democracy,” Harris said.
“As a democracy,” she repeated, “we know there’s a duality to the nature of democracy. On the one hand, incredible strength when it is intact.”
Harris went on, “What it does for its people to protect and defend their rights, their liberty, and their freedom. Incredibly strong and incredibly fragile.”
