Vice President Kamala Harris faced her final humiliation on Monday as her rival President Donald Trump was inaugurated as president of the United States.
The Vice President arrived to the inaugural ceremony on Capitol Hill wearing a black pantsuit with exposed zippers and did not smile as she arrived with President Joe Biden and prepared for the ceremony.
Harris and Biden participated in long-held tradition of the outgoing American president attending the inauguration of the incoming president as a sign of unity and respect for the democratic process.
She sat stoically throughout the ceremony holding an inaugural program in her lap.
Harris smiled sadly as Trump was introduced and looked at the floor and adjusted her hair as he prepared to deliver the oath of office.
She applauded lightly after Trump completed his oath.
Harris, who was endorsed by Joe Biden to take over his fading campaign in late June, campaigned against Trump for 106 days but fell short in the election.
Trump calls the 2024 election the ‘greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country’ reminding everyone present that he won all seven swing states and the popular vote by ‘millions.’
Harris crossed her wrists and held her program pinched in her fingers as Trump delivered his inaugural address.
Both Biden and Harris sat solemnly as Trump issued a series of promises to undo many of their efforts during their first and only term in office.
Her husband Doug Emhoff was unable to maintain his composure as Trump promised to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
He grimaced and shook his head slightly in reaction as Trump outlined the return to manifest destiny for the United States of America.
Biden’s former border czar sat motionless as Trump promised to secure the border and enforce the immigration laws in order to fix the crisis that the Biden administration failed to address.
Harris smiled briefly as the music failed prior to singer Carrie Underwood’s performance of God Bless America.
She even sang along quietly at one point during the song, even as critics on social media accused her of not knowing all of the words.
Harris and Emhoff processed out of the Capitol building as the former vice president and second gentleman briefly shook hands with Trump before hugging the Bidens farewell.
Harris left Capitol Hill Monday afternoon with plans to return to her home in California after the inaugural ceremony.
