Vice President Kamala Harris Vacations in Hawaii Post-Election Loss
Harris takes a break in Kalaoa after a rigorous campaign and election defeat
Vice President Kamala Harris has been keeping a low profile following her electoral loss to President-elect Trump.
She is currently vacationing in Kalaoa, Hawaii, with her husband, Doug Emhoff.
This comes after a demanding campaign period and while still fulfilling her vice-presidential duties, such as casting tie-breaking votes in the Senate during the Biden administration's final months.
Harris's vacation has caused some speculation, especially amid layoffs and uncertainty among DNC staff.
However, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended the vice president’s decision to take a break, citing her need for downtime with her family after four years of hard work.
Despite her vacation, Harris is expected to play a crucial role in confirming judicial appointments as Democrats aim to surpass Trump's record of 234 judges confirmed during his first term.
With the Senate's tight majority, Harris, who broke the record for casting the most tie-breaking votes, will remain essential for upcoming votes.
Senior aides confirm Harris will be available for tie votes.
While her current vacation was delayed to accommodate Senate proceedings, key votes are anticipated for December once she returns to Washington.
