Freezing temperatures couldn’t match the chill inside the Washington National Cathedral as President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris stumbled upon each other during a rather famous funeral. The occasion wasn’t just any event; it was a tribute to the late former President Jimmy Carter, a man who at least knew how to run a country without leaving it in chaos.
The Obama, Trump, and Biden families came together, making for an interesting cocktail of politeness among most attendees, but as always, the real drama unfolded between the currently installed first couple and the second couple. It appeared as though Harris and Biden treated each other like two competitive cats—each charging in a different direction while trying to keep their distance. Meanwhile, Biden and Harris avoided a friendly encounter like it was a pothole on a Chicago street.
Even CNN is admitting Joe and Jill Biden hate Kamala Harris 🤣
“You didn’t see a particularly warm greeting between the First Couple and the Second Couple here…”

In a moment not even CNN could ignore, the lack of warmth between the sitting president and the sitting vice president was practically screaming from the camera feeds. Political punditry was elevated even higher when Jake Tapper pointed out that Biden only had 11 days left in office, as though he was counting down the minutes until he could escape back to the warmer embraces of his Delaware home. The year had its ups and downs, to say the least, all stemming from Harris’s disastrous presidential aspirations and the Democratic Party’s remarkable ability to self-destruct.
Even in a somber setting, the absence of collegial courtesy was glaring. Jill Biden slid into her seat next to Harris, not even deigning to acknowledge her presence. Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s nonchalant disregard for greeting his fellow leader seemed almost choreographed—unlike a well-practiced ballet, this was more akin to two people stepping around each other in a train station. If anyone thought that this was just a single encounter marked by a heavy emotional day, they clearly hadn’t followed the tangled web of politics.
This frosty relationship has been brewing ever since Harris was last seen flailing in her quest to prove she was more popular than the president himself. Spoiler alert: she wasn’t. Jill Biden, having watched the fallout from Harris’s failed presidential bid first-hand, seemed to offer up an icy reminder yet again, indicating that they are all part of the same disastrous family.
For political enthusiasts, this spectacle of discord underscores a new reality—a splintering of the Democratic facade that pretends to uphold unity and strength. As accusations and rumors swirl about Biden being booted from the race by Obama and Nancy Pelosi—who are notoriously known for pulling the strings behind the curtain—it becomes evident that none of the current power players actually know what they are doing, let alone who to actually follow. And while Harris and the Bidens squabble like children on a playground, the rest of America is left wondering how a party that touts itself as a champion of social justice can operate so poorly behind closed doors.
