The crowd reaction....👏 I think she caught it before they did. But no one seemed to have a problem with it.

[kathryneschmidt]

She starts to say ‘president’, quickly catches herself, corrects herself, repeats ‘with the president’ and even includes Biden’s name. That’s someone with confidence, humility and integrity.

[Sage-uqem]

She handled that slip-up with a lot of humility and respect for the office.

[mikestivers]

you'll be attacked for claiming "i'm the president' by accident, yet the entire maga world thinks trump is still president and calls him president constantly. yes, they are this dumb.

She has been visualizing!🤗 What the heart thinks the mouth speaks!👍🏽💯

[Lkpumpin]

I just love this woman ❤️… sheer class 🙌🏽

[RascalRikk]

That was a great and even better and swift correction to her gaffe. Humbled herself quickly

[cryptowomanist]

"Speak those things that are not as though they are" Amen lol!

I love how she tried to hide her embarrassment and recovered so gracefully while the crowd is so absolutely ready for her Presidency! 

We will go to the polls in honor of Sheila Jackson Lee, and her lifelong commitment to civil rights, I so wish she could've been with us longer to see that momentous day.

Gather here if you watched this more than once!
She unconsciously spoke from the realm of the spirit. It is done.
I like how she quickly humbled herself and re- emphasized ...'with the president'.
She oozes an aura of so much warmth, elegance, charisma and intelligence. The power of a classy woman. I wish America well, and I wish her great success. Her win against Trump will be very wide.
Who has such a great smile like Kamala?

[kevp]

What’s meant for you can’t be taken away. CLAIM IT MADAM PRESIDENT!

[karenjarrett]

She's getting use to calling herself that❤❤❤❤

[angelisa]

I will love every last moment of President Biden’s term! But also feel ready to call VP Harris, Madam President!! 💙💙🇺🇸💙💙😎😘

[Annabee]

I commend her for eulogizing Mrs. Shelia Jackson-Lee despite campaigning all week for the U S. President. Easy Caffeine.

[fanjaniainafawbush]

She is a true lady!!! Wow, watching from Madagascar

[juanita_rocksteady]

Her smile. It's nice to be able to look at a candidate and feel hope instead of disgust.👍🏽🗳
