Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris is struggling to win over voters as next week’s critical election draws near.
Harris’s crumbling support was put into stark relief by a series of humiliating heckling incidents at her recent rallies.
One of the most recent such humiliations came during Harris’s Friday appearance in Texas.
During the event, a group of attendees interrupted Harris’s remarks and caused her to go off-script, as the U.S. Sun reports.
Harris made her way to the Lone Star State late last week for a star-studded event that included pop star Beyonce.
However, the event was met with a backlash after fans waited in line for hours for the event, believing it was a Beyonce concert.
Many were outraged after Beyonce only spoke for under four minutes to introduce Harris and didn’t sing.
Loud boos could be heard from the crowd after they realized they’d been tricked into being props for a Harris rally.

NEW: Kamala Harris' highly anticipated rally in Houston, Texas was a complete disaster as some attendees fumed that Beyonce didn’t perform.

Additionally, the rally suffered an unexpected disruption when a group of audience members made their disdain for the Democratic Party nominee plain for all to hear.
The initial interruption reportedly resulted in the removal of a man from the venue, with similar occurrences taking place four more times as Harris attempted to deliver her remarks.
Shouts from hecklers were not the only hiccup related to Harris’ Houston extravaganza, with reports emerging after the event of disgruntled attendees expressing anger over the fact that they felt misled about whether Beyonce would be performing at the rally when, in reality, she simply delivered a brief statement, as the Daily Mail noted.
As the New York Post reported, a Harris rally in Wisconsin also encountered a speedbump, when a group of anti-abortion activists made their voices heard while the VP was at the microphone.
The conservative attendees yelled, “Christ is King” and “Jesus is Lord” during Harris’ remarks, prompting an angry reaction from nearby rallygoers.
What surprised observers even more was the reaction of Harris herself, who addressed the protestors directly, saying:
“You guys are at the wrong rally.
“I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”
Grant Beth, one of the vice president’s hecklers later explained his actions and warned:
“This is what you are going to get with a Kamala Harris presidency.
“You are going to get the Kamala Harris that alienates over 50% of the U.S. population that is Christian.”
Harris’s rally troubles persisted on Saturday when she was once again confronted by hecklers during an event in Kalamazoo, Michigan, as the Washington Examiner reports.
This time, the vice president faced interruption from pro-Palestinian demonstrators expressing frustration with the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Harris replied to the disruption by stating, “And listen, on the topic of Gaza, we must end that war, and we must end the war and bring the hostages home, but now I am speaking about 2024.”
With a little over one week to go before Election Day, it remains to be seen whether Harris will attempt to limit her speaking appearances to reliably friendly audiences only, or if she will continue encountering this sort of embarrassing, outspoken public resistance to her talking points.
