Vice President Harris covered her mouth and appeared on live television after stumbling while addressing Floridians during an update on Hurricane Milton from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on Wednesday. It seemed like he told the staff.
President Biden and Harris were briefed by disaster relief officials on lifesaving preparations for Hurricane Milton. They also received an update on the forecast and expected impacts on the state of Florida.
Biden attended the meeting from the White House, but Harris and others attended virtually.
At one point during the press conference, Harris covered her mouth and appeared to be delivering a message to someone else.

“It's live,” I heard her say.
The moment came about 20 minutes after Harris stumbled in her address to Floridians. She kept looking down, seemingly referring to her notes or script.
“To the people of Florida, especially those in the Tampa area: Please take this storm seriously,” she said. “As I've said before, this is a storm that is expected to be historic in magnitude. And I know many of you are tough…and you've been through these hurricanes before. We got through it. This time will be different.”

“I want you to understand that it's going to be more dangerous, more deadly, more devastating in every way, so I want you to listen to what your local officials have to say,” Harris added. “They know what they're saying. They know what they're doing. And when they're told to evacuate, evacuate immediately. It's too late. Don't wait until it happens.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Harris' office for comment on the incident, but has not yet received a response.
Hurricane Milton reached Category 5 storm status multiple times over the past two days and made landfall in the Tampa, Florida area on Wednesday night as a Category 3 storm.
