What Kamala Harris Is Doing First After Leaving Vice Presidency

Kamala Harris goes home.

Shortly after that Donald Trump used to be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States January 20-and Vice President JD Vance took his oath of office – the former vice president boarded a flight back to her home state to visit firefighters battling wildfires are raging across Southern California and help distribute food with nonprofit World Central Kitchen.

And much like her vice presidencyHarris’s departure was a historic one. After all, it was the first time an all-female crew operated a C-32 for the US Air Force, according to MSNBC.

Harris joined her husband, former second lord Doug Emhoffbefore the flight.

The 60-year-old – who ran against Trump in the 2024 presidential election— told her team that she wanted to meet with California first responders earlier, but a trip to the West Coast during her final days in office never materialized, per Politics.

“President Biden and I convened local, state and federal officials for a briefing on our coordinated response to the Southern California wildfires,” Harris Harris wrote on Xformerly Twitter, January 10. “To my fellow Californians: We are with you. And we will be with you as communities recover and rebuild.”
