Vice President Kamala Harris' second speech as the Democratic Party's presumed presidential nominee was so raucous fans "had to turn the sound down," social media posts showed Wednesday.

Harris was speaking to the Grand Boulé of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority in Indiana, with electrifying response.

From the moment Vice President Kamala Harris ascended to be the odds-on favorite for the Democratic Party's 2024 presidential nominee, Republican lawmakers and conservatives have rushed to attack her on the cable networks — and it's led Republican party stalwarts to cringe at damage being done to their party.

In the few days since President Joe Biden shocked the country by stepping aside and paving the way for his VP to take his place at the top of the ticket, she has been smeared as a DEI hire — a less than subtle racist attack — and been shamed over her sexual past by a multitude of conservative influencers.

"The View's" co-host Sara Haines blew up at Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) Wednesday over his claim that "childless" Democrats" "don't really have a stake" in the future of the country.

The all-female panel of hosts, in front of a heavily female audience, laid into the far-right lawmaker after he told the Fox network that "childless cat ladies" have taken control of the Democratic Party.

Republicans are fumbling with attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris that are also offending women and people of color across the country, critics say.

As one former GOP lawmaker stated, they "can't help themselves."

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg took aim at Donald Trump's vice-presidential running mate JD Vance, destroying his attack on "childless" Democrats, which he had described as the "future" of the Democratic Party.

In a wide-ranging CNN interview Tuesday night (videos below), Buttigieg criticized Vance’s “obvious interest in power,” highlighting his switch from being extremely anti-Trump to joining the convicted felon's run for the White House. He also mocked Trump’s apparent attempt to withdraw from an ABC News debate now that Kamala Harris is the Democrats’ de-facto presidential nominee.

CNN's John Berman mocked Sen. Tom Cotton's repeated attack on Vice President Kamala Harris live on CNN Wednesday.

The Arkansas Republican claimed Harris had carried out a "coup" against President Joe Biden, but repeatedly dodged Berman's questions about Donald Trump's role in the Jan. 6 insurrection. Instead, he repeatedly returned to bashing the vice president as a "San Francisco liberal."

Missouri Republican Secretary of State candidate Valentina Gomez on Tuesday posted a bizarre video to social media in which she says she's standing on "the speaker's balcony."

In the video, the far-right candidate says, "I am at the speaker's balcony, and they don't like me here, and neither in Jefferson City. I don't give a f—. I speak truth, catch pedophiles, and will be Missouri's 41st Secretary of State."
