Kamala Harris Vacationed While Staffers Resign

Vice President Harris and her husband Dough Emhoff landed in Hawaii on August 15th and, to date, are still enjoying the sunny island.

Her vacation has raised questions on why she hasn’t been attending important meetings with Biden, like when he signed the massive climate, health care, and tax spending bill just a day after she left.

She remained on vacation while Biden announced his administration would give student loan borrowers up to $20,000 in debt forgiveness for those making under $125,000. Harris tweeted her approval and celebrated Biden’s decision.

She has been seen hiking at Haena State Park and visiting farmers’ markets.

Harris was last spotted in her hometown of Oakland, California, where she delivered the speech about the space program on August 12th before departing for Hawaii.
