Vice President Kamala Harris appears to fumble the pledge on the Senate floor

“Please join me in pledging allegiance to our flag,” she began loud and clear. However, she ended up fumbling the final delivery. Her voice kept breaking out during the chorus, but even before that she spat out the words “Pledge allegiance to the United States of America” ​​and left out the phrase “to the flag”, while others in the background can be heard reciting the words in unison. After that, she ran late, while others seemed to have pulled off the lift with no problems. She joined the chorus a beat slower and finally closed the address on time.
