Kamala Harris declined to invite Vice President-elect J.D. Vance and his family to the vice president’s residence before Inauguration Day, as reported by CBS News. Usha Vance reached out to Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, about childproofing the residence but was reportedly rebuffed by a Harris aide.
Sources indicated that Harris was busy with other issues, including the Los Angeles wildfires, during this time.
Traditionally, outgoing vice presidents invite their successors, but Harris’ aides defended her decision, citing that she had not received an invitation herself.
