Kamala Harris swears in Senate members; JD Vance's reaction goes viral

Vice President Kamala Harris Friday swore in the senators as the 119th Congress convened. A video of Vice President-elect JD Vance laughing as Kamala Harris read out the oath went viral. Donald Trump Jr too shared the video with a smiling emoji. But JD Vance did not probably mean any insult to Kamala Harris as he clapped after the swearing was over. Harris too was seen with a pleasant smile on her face as she faced the Republicans after the bitterly fought election.

Harris’s role as vice president includes duties performed as president of the Senate, including breaking ties and presiding over impeachment trials not involving a sitting president. It also includes swearing in new senators-elect so they can begin their terms.

Many of the Republicans Kamala Harris swore in today could not pronounce her name, the Time Magazine headlined its article about the swearing-in today.

⁩ and ⁦ ⁩ as they were sworn in to the US Senate. Congrats to them and to all of our new senators!" Vance wrote.
