Kamala Harris faced a lengthy interruption to her campaign rally in Savannah, Georgia on Thursday, with the Democratic party nominee continuing to smile calmly at the crowd and look around at the commotion, during a reported pro-Gaza protest.
Footage shows her breaking off, as her supporters also chanted. The protest itself cannot be seen or heard during the long pause in the speech, but was reported by a number of media outlets in the US. She has faced similar protests by those critical of the current administration's backing for Israel in the Gaza war, although both her and President Joe Biden have called on the sides to agree a peace deal.
"Let me just say something, hold up for a second, let me just say something," Harris finally continued. "We are fighting for democracy, everyone has a right and should have their voices heard, I am speaking now, but on the subject, I will say this: the President and I are working around the clock. We've got to get a hostage deal done and get a ceasefire done now."
Media commentators and outlets have previously remarked on her continued smile, or even 'smirk', during tougher moments in debates and forums, with some criticising the tactic but others defending her composure.
Meanwhile she also spoke of abortion rights and claimed that Trump introduce further restrictions with a 'national abortion ban', calling one 'immoral'.
"Think about that many with no exceptions, even for rape and incest, that is immoral, immoral. And let us all agree: one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling her what to do," she added.
Trump has not suggested the move, and has previously defended states' rights to decide for themselves, after the Supreme Court struck out Roe vs Wade in 2022 ending the effective US-wide right to an abortion.
Harris also claimed the former president favours 'billionaires and big corporations'.
"He intends to cut Social Security and Medicare, and he wants to impose what, in effect, is a national sales tax on everyday products and basic necessities, and it will cost. The economists will tell you it will cost a typical American family nearly 4,000 dollars a year," she claimed.
She also promised "universal background checks and red flag laws" to tighten gun laws, during the ongoing row over school shootings and the Second Amendment 'right to bear arms'
Harris became the nominee after incumbent Joe Biden quit the race amid mounting concerns over his health and a much-criticised debate with Trump. Her Republican rival described her candidacy as a 'coup' against Biden, after the current president continued to insist he was best placed to win in the days and weeks before he stepped aside. The presidential election takes place on November 5.
