JD Vance cracks awkward Kamala Harris joke after woman screams and tumbles in seating mishap

GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA: Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance turned his response to a woman falling from the chair during his town hall into a mocking swipe at Vice President Kamala Harris.

The turn of events occurred while Vance was amid a question-answer session during a town hall with former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Thursday, October 10.

While the Ohio Senator was speaking, someone seated behind him screamed after she fell from a chair, as per Daily Mail. The Donald Trump running mate stood up immediately to see what happened but soon after quipped, "Kamala Harris built this."

JD Vance's Kamala Harris joke causes laughter among Town Hall attendees

Before cracking his joke, JD Vance approached the woman who fell from the chair, asking whether she was okay. The lady, despite looking confused, was not injured.

The senator made light of the moment, joking, "Kamala Harris built this platform behind us, that's what happened." This prompted the crowd to laugh and cheer.

"You can have my chair if you want," Patrick offered the woman.

As the 2024 presidential election enters its final stretch with only weeks left for Election Day, Vance attempted to woo voters in support of the Republican ticket.

The ex-NASCAR driver questioned the VP hopeful regarding globalists who aim for people to "own nothing and be happy."

"They want you to live in a pod, eat bugs and own nothing, right?" Vance replied.

Further, both confessed that they had previously tried eating crickets.

Sharing his experience, Vance said, "I'm ashamed to admit it; I have also tried cricket. It is honestly more disgusting than you can possibly imagine. So don't eat the bugs. We want to eat red meat."

The GOP VP candidate's town hall took place as former president Barack Obama campaigned for Harris in Pittsburgh, while the Democratic nominee held a town hall in Las Vegas.

Harris overtook Trump among suburban voters, according to the latest polls. The former president is trailing by 6 points, with 41% to his rival's 47% among the suburban residents as per a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. At the national level, Harris holds a 49% lead to Trump's 46%, according to the New York Times/Siena poll.
