Biden Keeps Kamala Harris Far Away from Debt Ceiling Negotiations; Veep Attends WNBA Game, Spending Weekend in Los Angeles With “No Public Events Scheduled” | The Gateway Pundit


Joe Biden is in Japan attending the G7 summit as brinksmanship debt ceiling negotiations take place in Washington, D.C. Where is his vice president, a heartbeat away from the presidency and president of the Senate? Not at the table, not in the room. Kamala Harris is a continent away from the deal making, spending the weekend with husband Doug Emhoff in their hometown, Los Angeles, California with “no public events scheduled.”

Harris attended a WNBA game in L.A. Friday night between the Los Angeles Sparks and the Phoenix Mercury to mark the return to the league of star player Brittney Griner after Griner was freed in a prisoner exchange between Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin last December. Biden gave up a notorious Russian arms dealer, Viktor Bout, for the release of Griner who was convicted on drug possession charges in Russia.

Harris was cheered by the hometown crowd.

Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman posted the Vice President’s office release of Harris’ weekend schedule, “The Vice President and Second Gentleman are in Los Angeles, CA and have no public events scheduled.”

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) stayed in D.C. this weekend for the negotiations. He was spotted by Bloomberg reporter Kailey Leinz walking on the National Mall Saturday morning.

To ensure taxpayers paid for Harris’ weekend vacay back home, an official event was scheduled to justify the trip, (KCBS-TV excerpt):

Vice President Kamala Harris returned to Los Angeles Friday and toured a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing supplies and support to needy new mothers, while also announcing a federal partnership aimed at improving maternal health.

Harris touched down at Los Angeles International Airport around 1 p.m. and was taken by motorcade to the headquarters of the nonprofit Baby2Baby, which provides baby supplies to low-income mothers locally and nationally, and also offers information on available government support resources.

Harris met with a group of mothers during the visit, and announced a partnership between the nonprofit and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that will distribute Newborn Supply Kits — including essential goods and maternal health items — to new moms.

…She had been scheduled to make an appearance at Cal State Dominguez Hills on Thursday for a town hall meeting marking Mental Health Action Day. The Los Angeles Times reported that Harris pulled out of the event in a show of solidarity with striking Writers Guild of America members.
