Vice President Kamala Harris paused her rally near Phoenix, Arizona, on Friday night and addressed a group of hecklers from the podium.

The Democratic presidential nominee was not far into her address before thousands of vocal supporters when she was interrupted by some attendees yelling above the vice president.

"Let me just say this on topic of what I think I am hearing over there. Let me just speak to that for a moment, and then I'm going to get back to the business at hand," Harris said, gesturing toward the protesters.

"Let me say, I have been clear," the vice president continued. "Now is the time to get a ceasefire deal and get the hostage deal done."

The interruption at the rally in Glendale, Arizona, came two nights after Harris shut down hecklers in Detroit, Michigan.

Harris was speaking to supporters about the infamous Project 2025 conservative policy initiative when a group of pro-Palestinian spectators could be heard chanting, in part, "We won't vote for genocide."

Harris paused her speech to tell the group, "You know what, if you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I'm speaking."
