Kamala Harris and Jill Biden sat together but avoided any interaction, eye contact.
Kamala Harris made her first public appearance after her concession speech yesterday at a Veterans Day event at the Arlington National Cemetery. It was a joint appearance of the outgoing president and vice-president as both Biden and Kamala Harris were there. Joe Biden and Jill Biden were not present at Howard University where Kamala Harris gave her concession speech -- making it clear how they distanced themselves from the election loss.
Now videos of Kamala Harris and Jill Biden are going viral with two claims -- Kamala Harris ignored Jill Biden; Jill completely ignored Kamala Harris. Who ignored who remains open to interpretation as they were seen sitting beside each other and not even exchanging a glance in the viral videos. Jill Biden was wearing sunglasses and looked straight and Kamala Harris too was seen looking in the other direction where their glances could not meet. Jill Biden however spoke with Kamala Harris' husband Doug Emhoff as seen later.
It is not a secret that both Joe Biden and Jill held a grudge when the outgoing president was made to drop out of the presidential election. It was a decision dominated by the party veterans and Biden had no other option than to abide by endorsing Kamala Harris. Jill Biden too campaigned for Kamala Harris but the Bidens did not let go of the grudge.
"It’s safe to say that Jill Biden hates Kamala Harris’s guts," a user wrote sharing a video where Kamala Harris was seen sitting beside Jill Biden without greeting her. "Kamala Harris was given the cold shoulder by Jill Biden," another wrote sharing different video of Harris and Jill Biden looking in different directions.
"Jill Biden hates Kamala Harris with a passion," one wrote.
The Bidens will host Donald Trump tomorrow at the White House though Melania Trump won't be joining her husband. The Trumps in 2020 did not invite the Bidens and broke this post-election tradition as Donald Trump did not accept the verdict. Melania won't be joining Jill Biden over tea as there was a scheduling clash but according to reports, Melania does not consider Jill Biden as someone to meet.
