Kamala Harris Denies JD Vance Family Tour

Vice President Kamala Harris has faced criticism for not allowing JD Vance and his family to tour the U.S. Naval Observatory before his inauguration. Despite Vance's recent electoral victory, Harris has not responded to requests from Usha Vance regarding childproofing the historic residence, raising concerns about the lack of tradition in the transition process. This snub has been likened to previous grievances during the 2020 election cycle, where Harris herself was denied a similar opportunity by then-Vice President Mike Pence. Media commentators, including Laura Ingraham, have condemned Harris's actions as impolite and reflective of a deeper ongoing feud, particularly with Jill Biden, which has roots dating back to the 2020 campaign. Although Harris cited a busy schedule as a reason for the oversight, critics argue it breaks protocol and could harm inter-party relations. The lack of communication has sparked speculation about the dynamics within the Biden administration as it transitions.
