Saxophonist Appears to Doze Onstage During Kamala Harris Speech at Beverly Hills Gala

The viral clip shifted attention from her voting-rights message to the onstage mishap.

Overview

  • A saxophonist sitting a few feet from Kamala Harris appeared to nod off during her remarks at Public Counsel’s William O. Douglas Award Dinner in Beverly Hills, which took place Wednesday.
  • The audience-shot clip, obtained by TMZ on Thursday, showed the musician with eyes closed and head down before he later played Harris offstage.
  • During the same appearance, Harris criticized the Trump administration and said recent Supreme Court rulings weakened the Voting Rights Act.
  • Public Counsel later posted Instagram video of the saxophonist performing again, and neither his identity nor any explanation has been made public.
  • News outlets emphasized different angles, with The Daily Beast stressing her voting-rights message and the New York Post branding the remarks an anti-Trump rant as the brief snooze clip spread online.
