Usually, the nominee doesn't speak until the final day of the convention.

But Harris decided to make a surprise appearance on the first day, walking on stage to the tune of Beyonce's Freedom and rapturous applause from the audience.

"Joe, thank you for your historic leadership. We are forever grateful to you," she said.

"We will declare as one people, with one voice: we are moving forward."

she doesnt want to overplay her hand.

Hillary Clinton received 65,844,610 votes across all 50 states and Washington D.C., 48.2 percent of all votes cast.  Donald Trump received 62,979,636 votes, 46.1 percent of all votes cast. That's a difference of 2,864,974 votes - almost 3 million more than Trump. Unfortunately, she lost in the electoral college, which is where it really mattered, 227 to Trumps' 304.

in front of a fired up crowd, and questioned her racial identity.

In a video obtained by TMZ, the 71-year-old can be seen asking the jeering crowd: "Do you want me to body slam Kamala Harris?!"

"Do you want me to drop the leg on Kamala?!" he shouts, referring to one of his iconic wrestling moves.

The comments were made during a promotional event for his new beer, and come amid calls to stop violent political rhetoric, following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump nearly six weeks ago.

Hogan continued to make more comments about Ms Harris including one about her Indian heritage.

Kamala Harris is bi-racial - her mother was from India and her father is Jamaican.

"Is Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian?" Hogan asked the crowd, before using an outdated and stereotypical greeting associated with Native American Indians.

The video stops after he could be heard saying he "was going to get heat for that one".

"That was not me, that was the beer talking," he added.

The BBC has contacted Hulk Hogan's management for comment.

Trump recently attacked the vice-president's racial identity, falsely claiming she had only ever emphasised her Asian-American heritage until recently when, he claimed, "she became a black person".

Last month, Hulk Hogan appeared at the Republican National Convention where he gave a speech praising Trump.

He also ripped off a shirt to reveal a vest with Trump's name and his vice-presidential pick, JD Vance.

The former wrestler's latest comments come as the Democrats are holding their party's convention this week in Chicago, where they will formally endorse Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate for November's election.
