Harris Declines Tour for Vance Family

Vice President Kamala Harris has declined to extend a traditional invitation for a tour or sit-down at the Naval Observatory to Vice President-elect JD Vance and his family, a departure from customary practice. The Vance family, preparing to move in on January 20, will see the residence for the first time without prior guidance from Harris, who reportedly rebuffed requests for information on childproofing the home. While Harris's team cites a busy schedule as the reason for the lack of engagement, critics argue that her decision reflects pettiness due to her own experiences during the 2020 transition. Insiders noted that Harris was not offered a tour before her inauguration, although sources associated with former Vice President Mike Pence claim otherwise. Despite the absence of a formal invitation, arrangements have been made between the Vance family and Navy aides overseeing the residence. The situation has sparked partisan commentary, with accusations of rudeness and classlessness directed at Harris.
