Meryl Streep recently went viral for making a slip-up of calling Harris “President Harris.” Streep then realized her mistake and smacked her hand to her mouth with an ‘oop!’ Harris laughed and said, “47 days, 47 days.”

That happened during the Unite for America event that was hosted by Oprah Winfrey. It was clear that Streep was supporting Harris, and the audience’s response made it clear they had no issue with the error.
