‘Shout your own name’: Kamala Harris roasted for 'awkward' rally moment

US Vice President Kamala Harris has been roasted following an “awkward” moment during a campaign rally on Monday.

Harris delivered a speech in the key battleground state of Michigan when she dropped a bizarre joke that silenced the arena.

“We are all here because we are fighting for a democracy and for the right of people to be heard and seen,” she said.

“We’re not about the enemy within. We know we are all in this together. That’s what we are fighting for.”

The vice president’s line drew a loud reaction from the crowd, with her supporters chanting “Ka-ma-la, Ka-ma-la”.

Harris then attempted to interject the chant by telling the crowd to “shout” their name.

The former prosecutor's interjection silenced the crowd before Harris attempted to salvage the moment.
