A crestfallen Kamala Harris arrived at an LA Lakers basketball game to very little fanfare on Thursday night – before making her way to the cheap section of the arena.
Harris, who was trounced by Donald Trump in November’s presidential election, attended the NBA fixture with husband Doug Emhoff as the Lakers faced her beloved Golden State Warriors in Los Angeles.
Yet in a final moment of humiliation for the ex-VP, footage from Crypto.com arena shows her walking several rows back to find her seat in front of the broadcast booth after not landing a VIP spot courtside.
And as she makes her way to the very back of the section, the majority of spectators barely seem to notice an awkward Harris, who did smile and wave to one member of the crowd after seemingly being recognized in her home state.
The clip of her uncomfortable entrance quickly went viral on social media, with one user brutally concluding: ‘Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff arrive at the Lakers game. Pretty much nobody cared.’
‘Notice how no one in the crowd even gives a f**k…’ said another.

A third joked: ‘Wow that was a thundering welcome.’
While another commented: ‘Just goes to show you how unpopular Kamala really is and how all the hoopla while she campaigned was completely fake.’
Comedian Jeff Dye also shared a zoomed-in video of Harris sitting in the cheap seats and captioned it: ‘Kamala Harris is at the Lakers Warriors game in like row 58. Should’ve saved some of that money.’
To add to her woes, Harris’ Warriors suffered a 120-112 defeat on the night against the Lakers.
Harris was elevated from backup to then-president Joe Biden to the Democratic nominee in August, but failed to inspire her party to victory in the election three months later.
Trump became only the second Republican to win the popular vote since 1988, while he also swept all seven key battleground states on his way to a dominant victory over the Democrats.

Though while she did lose the presidential race, Harris remains popular in her home state of California despite some voters in the state shifting to the right.
It’s unclear whether the 60-year-old has plans to run for governor, as heading back to California and running for state-wide office could be seen as a backwards step in her political career after serving as vice president.
Democratic insiders fully expect her to run for president again in 2028, despite the fact her 106-day presidential campaign ultimately ended in a bruising defeat.
Harris is already leading the race for the Democratic nomination again, largely thanks to her name recognition from the last campaign.
A McLaughlin poll published in January revealed she leads with 33 percent over potential rivals Pete ʙuттigieg (nine percent) and Gov. Gavin Newsom (seven percent).
