Vice President Harris can’t escape the embarrassment. And it’s only getting worse.
And now Kamala Harris was just humiliated by Jill Biden in a spectacular way.
President Biden, who’s stumbling through his lame-duck tenure, and first lady Jill Biden blatantly snubbed a beaming Vice President Kamala Harris at the Kennedy Center Honors.
Harris, clapping enthusiastically for the couple, was left ignored as the Bidens basked in a standing ovation, as awkward footage reveals.
Despite standing right next to Harris and her husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, the Bidens avoided so much as a glance toward their vice president during the 47th annual event.
The frosty interaction was impossible to miss.
Clips of the cold-shoulder moment quickly lit up X (formerly Twitter), with viewers pointing out the Bidens’ deliberate avoidance.
“Jill and Joe Biden are refusing to even look at Kamala Harris tonight,” the popular X account End Wokeness noted in a post alongside the video, which garnered more than 780,000 views by early Monday.

Social media users had a field day, mocking the strained interaction. Many cracked jokes about the Bidens’ demeanor, with some suggesting they “must have voted for President Trump,” a sly nod to his decisive victory over the Democrats in last month’s election.
Critics also speculated on the apparent fractures within the party. “What happened to the joy?” one user asked, highlighting the Democrats’ seemingly defeated and divided state.
Another commentator speculated on the cause of the tension:
“Can you blame them[?] Best case scenario she convinced him she would win, worst case the[y] ousted him so she could run. Either way, they probably feel robbed.”
One observer simply summed up the night: “I love how awkward it is for them.”
The uncomfortable moment unfolded during Sunday night’s Kennedy Center Honors, a ceremony that typically celebrates unity and achievement.
Hosted by Queen Latifah, this year’s event honored artists such as members of the Grateful Dead, Bonnie Raitt, and Francis Ford Coppola at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC.
But the Bidens’ glaring snub of their vice president overshadowed the celebrations.
Despite reports that Kamala may try another run for president in 2028, it seems certain that her aspirations are dead in the water.
