A hot mic appeared to catch Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris checking her location before addressing supporters Saturday.

“Are we in Cleveland?” she was heard quietly asking an aide before yelling to supporters, “Hey, Cleveland, it’s Kamala!”

Video of the incident circulated widely on social media, with retweeters including Eric Trump, son of the president. 

HARRIS: VOTING FOR PRESIDENT IS ABOUT ‘HONORING ANCESTORS’ WHO FOUGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS 

Harris rescheduled the Cleveland trip after canceling a week earlier in reaction to a staffer testing positive for the coronavirus, according to Cleveland.com.

During the visit, Harris urged supporters to vote in large numbers, stressing the struggles of the middle class due to the coronavirus pandemic and what she said was the president stoking racial tensions.

In her remarks, Harris also overstated the U.S. death toll of the virus, saying it had killed “over 220 million” Americans instead of the actual tally of around 224,000.

“You are going to make the difference!” she told supporters, according to WKYC-TV in Cleveland. “You are going to make the decision about your future, about your family’s future. It is through the voice of your vote, and you have the power. The power is with the people, and you know that. That’s why you’re standing in this line today, and I just came to say thank you!”
