Kamala Harris disappears from the spotlight following crushing election loss

US Vice President Kamala Harris has remained mostly out of the public eye following her crushing election loss to Donald Trump. Harris was seen arriving at Kalaoa, Hawaii, last Tuesday with her husband, Dough Emhoff, on a week-long trip. The VP’s holiday comes after months of campaigning, as she ran but failed to become the first-ever female US President. According to Fox News, the timing of Harris’ trip has been questioned as DNC staffers remain uncertain about their futures while others have been laid off. During a briefing last Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended Harris’ vacation despite still serving as vice president. “The vice president has taken time off to go spend time with her family. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. I think she deserves some time to be with her family and to have some downtime,” she said. “She has worked very hard over – for the last four years, and her taking a couple of days to be with her family, good for her. Good for her.”
