Kamala Harris addressed supporters during a campaign rally in Savannah, Georgia, in a speech that was briefly interrupted by protesters demonstrating against the US’s position on Israel’s war in Gaza.
Harris paused to say that she and Joe Biden were “working around the clock” on a ceasefire deal to bring home hostages.

Harris warned that Donald Trump does not trust women and insisted that her Republican opponent will sign a national abortion ban if he returns to the Oval Office.
Donald Trump reposted a crudely misogynistic comment about Kamala Harris on Truth Social in a move that reprised his past record of sexist behaviour and brazenly flouted pleas from members of his own party to emphasize issues over personal attacks.
The post – originally posted by another user – featured photos of Harris and Hillary Clinton alongside the comment: “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently … ”
The comment was an oblique reference to innuendo surrounding Harris’s former relationship with Willie Brown, the San Francisco mayor. The mention of Clinton – Trump’s defeated opponent in the 2016 presidential election – alluded to the affair between Monica Lewinsky, a former White House intern, and her husband Bill Clinton in the 1990s, which came close to ending his presidency.
It was not the first time Trump had made lewd references to Harris, and comes as fresh polls show Harris further improving her standing – and widening the gap with her opponent among women voters.
