Vice President Kamala Harris slipped up in a recent interview admitting that on the morning she selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, she was "sleep deprived."

According to the New York Post, the Democratic presidential nominee admitted that she suffered from "insomnia" after she was named as President Joe Biden's successor.

Harris's admission came during an interview with “All The Smoke” hosts Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson.

The vice president said she used "cooking" to get through the stress and sleep deprivation of the day she found out she was the Democratic nominee.

What did she say?

In her normal fashion, Harris rambled on about the events of that day, admitting that she had gotten virtually no sleep.

"From the time that the president called me and told me he wasn’t running, I mean, it’s just like everything was in speedy, speedy motion, and I was not sleeping so well," she told the podcast hosts.

"And that one morning I just, I mean, I had, I don’t know, a few hours’ sleep — and I, you know, I like to sleep. I just got up," she said. “I was like — so I just went out and got a pork roast and started marinating it."

She doubled down on her "cooking" stress relief outlet, as she's done in the past in an attempt to connect with voters.

"And my family were all going to be in town, so they were very happy about the whole situation, but I just got up and started — everybody’s asleep, I just got up and started cooking," Harris continued.

Social media reacts

Social media users reacted to the news of Harris' "insomnia," with many suggesting that she's already laying down excuses for her seemingly poor choice in running mates.

"So--Kamala is making excuses for choosing Walz? That's rich," one X user wrote.

Another X user wrote, "Sounds like she is starting the Bus in preparation for the now predictable "throwing under" if Walz bombs tomorrow."

Walz will debate Sen. J.D. Vance on Tuesday evening, which could generate a whole new set of problems for the Harris campaign depending on the outcome.
