Kamala Harris walks across a stage.

The Gazette, January 2025

Former Vice President Kamala Harris departed Washington and the White House after observing a peaceful transfer of power that, in an alternative universe, could have been transferred to her. After declining to sit down with Vice President J.D. Vance following last year’s election or invite him to Number One Observatory Circle, his new residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory, Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff greeted him and his wife, Usha, at the White House on inauguration day. “This is democracy in action,” Harris told reporters who were waiting with her for them at the White House’s North Portico before she was overheard extending her “congratulations” to Vance.

Harris and Emhoff later left for Los Angeles, on the first Boeing C-33 operated by an all-female U.S. Air Force crew, where they are expected to stop at a local fire station to thank firefighters amid California’s ongoing fires and distribute food with World Central Kitchen. After that, she has plans to pen another book. “Madam Vice President, what’s next?” one reporter asked her last week after Harris signed her ceremonial desk. “We’re going to continue getting work done until Monday, and then I’ll keep you posted,” she replied. Harris later tweeted, “It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your Vice President. Stay connected with me at http://KamalaHarris.com.”
