Vice President Harris, during the Hurricane Milton update from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on Wednesday, closed his mouth and appeared to tell the staff that he was broadcasting live after stumbling in his speech to the people of Florida.
President Biden and Harris received an update from disaster relief officials on life-saving preparations for Hurricane Milton. The two also received the latest forecast updates and the expected impact on Florida.
While Biden attended the meeting from the White House, Harris and others were in attendance.
At one point during the forum, Harris closed his mouth and appeared to be relaying a message to someone else.

“Live broadcast,” he could be heard saying.
The moment came about 20 minutes after Harris stumbled in his speech to Floridians. He looked down several times, appearing in reference notes or text.
“To the people of Florida, especially the people of Tampa County: We urge you to take this storm seriously,” she said. “As mentioned before, this is a storm that is expected to have historic value. And many of you, I know are resilient… and have weathered these storms before. This one will be different.

“We ask that you understand by all means that it is going to be very dangerous, very dangerous and catastrophic. So please listen to your local officials,” Harris said. “They know what they are talking about. They know what they are doing. And if you are told to leave, please leave immediately. Don’t wait until it is too late.”
