Donald Trump described his Democratic rival as a 's**t Vice President' at a rally held in Pennsylvania last week
Kamala Harris has blurted out the word "s**t" in a "cringeworthy" hot mic blunder.
During a pint-guzzling trip to a Michigan bar with local Governor Gretchen Whitmer, the Vice President had been enjoying her drink - but failed to realise her microphone was still attached.
The pair were drinking at Trak Houz Bar and Grill in Kalamazoo following a campaign rally in the key swing state.
After realising she was still mic'd up, Harris said: "Oh, we have microphones... And they're listening to everything!

"I didn't realise that. Okay. We just told all the family secrets. S**t."
Harris and Whitmer were left chuckling after cottoning onto the slip-up.
But social media users were quick to accuse the Vice President of being "cringeworthy" for their pub visit.
The pair received a warm reception in a county that voted decisively for Joe Biden in 2020.
But Republican rival Donald Trump is also pushing for votes in the Great Lake State.
MORE ON THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE:During a rally in Pennsylvania just last week, Trump launched into a potty-mouthed tirade about Harris.
He said: "You have to tell Kamala Harris that you've had enough. That you just can't take it anymore.
"We can't stand you. You're a s**t Vice President. The worst.
"You're the worst Vice President, Kamala... You're fired. Get the hell out of here, you're fired."
Opinion polls put Harris and Trump effectively neck-and-neck in Michigan, with FiveThirtyEight handing the Vice President a meagre 0.3 per cent lead.
Harris' national lead stands at 1.6 per cent, a point below Hillary Clinton's popular vote margin in 2016.
But pollsters tip Trump to follow in the footsteps of Grover Cleveland by becoming just the second President to serve two non-consecutive terms in the Oval Office.
The 45th President is marginally ahead in Nevada, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia and Arizona.
Alongside her fractional lead in Michigan, Harris is just 0.1 per cent ahead of Trump in nearby Wisconsin.
