Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a speech at the Public Counsel Awards Dinner held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills on Wednesday. The event, which honored legal achievements, saw Harris accept the William O. Douglas Award from Uzo Aduba.

During her remarks — which included discussion of “No Kings” rallies and long-term political strategy — witnesses reported that a saxophonist seated nearby fell into deep sleep, snoring audibly. The incident occurred amid an otherwise vibrant event featuring speeches and performances. Harris concluded the award acceptance by reaffirming her commitment to the Constitution and declaring “we need to be ruthless” in confronting the current political climate.
