Multiple Democratic and Republican sourcesCBS News that Harris declined to invite Vance or his family for a sit-down or tour of the Naval Observatory residence. Vance’s wife, Usha, reportedly reached out to Harris and first gentleman Doug Emhoff via intermediaries to ask about childproofing the house for her young children but was rebuffed by a Harris aide. The primary communication since has been between Vance’s team and the Navy aides who oversee the residence.
Nevertheless, neither a sit-down nor tour ever happened in the chaotic final days of the first Trump administration amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the Jan. 6 riot. People close to Harris also said she has been busy with other matters, such as the Los Angeles wildfires.The courtesy invitation to the Naval Observatory residence had been a long-standing tradition before 2020, with Pence having been invited by then-Vice President Joe Biden in 2016.
The relationship between Trump and Biden has been notably warmer, with the president-elect visiting him in the White House shortly after his November victory.
