"The courts are going to handle that part of it. What we're gonna do is beat him in November."

On the second day of her battleground blitz with running mate Tim Walz, when she got to the point in her now-familiar stump speech about her days prosecuting predators, fraudsters and scammers, supporters, like those in Philadelphia on Tuesday, were just starting to chant “lock him up” when Harris deviated from the script.

“Well, hold on,” she said, holding out her hand as if to placate the crowd in Eau Claire, Wisc. “You know what, the courts are going to handle that part of it. What we’re gonna do is beat him in November.”

She laughed, and the crowd roared.

The moment represented the smooth diffusion of a pattern that could begin to look unseemly for the vice president. By Wednesday, calls to “lock him up” had become a regular occurrence during Harris’ appearances on the campaign trail, a riff on the “lock her up” chants that Trump’s MAGA rally goers deployed against Hillary Clinton.
