Fox & Friends incorrectly aired an on-screen picture of California Senate candidate Kamala Harris, identifying her as Nevada Senate candidate Catherine Cortez Masto, in a segment about the race to replace Sen. Harry Reid's (D-NV) Senate seat. From the May 24 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends: 

STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): Well, the race is on to replace long time Democratic Senator Harry Reid in Nevada. And with a large Latino population, it's shaping up to be a brutal battleground state. But as Republican Representative Joe Heck takes on Reid's hand-picked successor, Catherine Cortez Mastro (sic), will having Trump at the top of the ticket help or hurt him?
