When they go low , we go to couch jocularity … or whatever the expression is .
Yesterday, Democratic presidential nomineeKamala Harris picked her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz,and the two kicked off their joint campaign with a rally in Philadelphia.
Taking to a national stage for the first time as a unit, Harris and Gov. Walz impressed many with their message toward the future. However, one particular moment has stood out: Walz’s joke about Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance and couches.
I’m sure you haven’t forgotten that, during late July,unfounded rumors circulated suggesting Vance simulated sex with a couchby anchoring a rubber glove between two cushions.
Regardless of the purported falsity, the rumor sparked a barrage of jokes and memes.

And last night, Walz seemingly played into the bit, saying of Vance, “And I got to tell you, I can’t wait to debate the guy. That is if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”

Meanwhile, Harris seemingly attempted to hold in a laugh.
Video capturing the moment has reached 8.3 million viewers on X (formerly known as Twitter), and people are eating it up:
