J.D. Vance delivered a rally speech Tuesday in Pennsylvania with a backdrop that made it appear he was campaigning for his arch nemesis, Kamala Harris.

The unfortunate signage appeared to stem from the event’s advance team not accounting for its crowd blocking half of a gigantic poster that sat directly behind Vance, which appeared to read in full, “KAMALA CHAOS.”

For those watching on Fox News and other broadcasts, however, the only words clearly visible—in white text on a blue background, in all caps—was simply “Kamala.”

The apparent gaffe quickly went viral on X, where many joked that Harris’ VP choice in Tim Walz, which was announced just prior to Vance’s rally speech, had convinced Trump’s running mate to switch teams.

    I don’t think I’d be campaigning for Trump with the word “Chaos”…that is really something that calls back to Trump tweeting nuclear threats against North Korea, hiring Mike Pompeo and firing Rex Tillerson in one tweet publicly before informing them, the Covid mishandling (“re-open by Easter 2020”)…on policy folks might just disagree but it’s standard politics. The Chaos of the Trump presidency was uniquely of his own making.
