Last week there were fewer public engagements with Vice President Harris than we are used to seeing as she prepped for her Singapore/Vietnam trip and the administration dealt with the Afghanistan crisis. We saw a glimpse of Vice President Harris in a White House photo released Sunday, August 15; the photo shows the President, Vice President, and national security team as they discuss Afghanistan.
Vice President Harris did not have any public engagements on Monday, August 9. Tuesday, August 10, Vice President Harris visited the Unity Health Cares Brentwood Health Center in Washington, DC.
The Vice President delivered remarks about the administration’s efforts to lower health care costs.
She also announced that more than 2.5 million people have signed up for health care during the special enrollment period.
Tuesday afternoon, she was at the Capitol to preside during the Senate’s vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill. You can hear the Vice President announce the results in this video clip.
Below, the Vice President, President, and others as they watched coverage of the bill’s passage.
The Vice President then joined the President for remarks about the massive infrastructure bill.
Ms. Harris was in familiar separates by Altuzarra, her Kenton Jacket & Serge Pants. It looked like she was also wearing her Luxe Charmeuse Reversible Perla Blouse ($328) by Lafayette 148 New York.
Her accessories included her Manolo Blahnik Newcio pumps (below), double-strand pearl necklace by Irene Neuwirth, and unidentified mabé pearl earrings.
The Vice President did not have any public engagements on Wednesday, August 11. On the 12th, she hosted a meeting with business leaders to talk about child care.
From the New York Times:
Attendees included Mark Breitbard, chief executive of the Global Gap Brand; Jenna Johnson, the president of Patagonia; Josh Silverman, the chief executive of Etsy; Alison Whritenour, the chief executive of Seventh Generation; and Hami Ulukaya, the chief executive of the yogurt brand Chobani, among others.
The White House selected the executives because of their companies’ policies on child care and paid leave, a senior administration official said. In the meeting, Ms. Harris emphasized the importance of child care as both a personal and a business matter.
Vice President Harris was in a khaki suit I haven’t yet identified, and her L’Agence Cory Tee ($85), Irene Neuwirth necklace, and unidentified mabé pearl earrings.
Friday, August 13, the Vice President took part in an Instagram live session.
She spoke about voting rights with Storm Reid, an activist, producer, and actress, and Sarah Audelo, Executive Director of the Alliance for Youth Action.
The Vice President was in a blue blazer and white top, but I wasn’t able to tell if it was the Prabal Gurung blue suit or another style. (There were no photos released from the Instagram broadcast.) You can watch the conversation here.
Vice President Harris started her week marking the 31st ADA anniversary (Americans with Disabilities Act) alongside President Biden. Both officials made remarks at a Rose Garden ceremony on Monday, July 26.
Here you see them with artist Tyree Brown, a 26-year-old artist from Maryland. Injured in a car accident, the ADA makes it possible for Tyree’s mother to be her full-time aide.
This week could be called a Prabal Gurung trifecta, as the Vice President wore the designer’s creations each of the three days she had public engagements. We begin with Tuesday, July 20, when the Vice President welcomed King Abdullah II of Jordan and his son, Crown Prince Al Hussein, for a working breakfast at her residence.
I am back with a post combining the last two weeks; the Vice President only had two public engagements the first week of July so I thought it made more sense to combine the weeks into one post.
We begin with Thursday, July 8, when Vice President Harris visited her alma mater, Howard University.
Vice President Harris did not have any public engagements on Monday or Tuesday, June 28 and 29. On the 30th, she spoke at the UN’s Generation Equality Forum, “a global gathering for gender equality convened by UN Women and co-hosted by the governments of Mexico and France, in partnership with youth and civil society,” per the UN site.
This week we saw the Vice President in a couple of new ensembles featuring a lighter color palette. We’ll begin with Monday, June 21, when Vice president Harris traveled to Pittsburgh. Below, Ms. Harris being greeted by Senator Bob Casey (D-PA).
Vice President Harris started her week on June 14th with a trip to South Carolina. Below, the Vice President arriving at Greenville Spartanburg International Airport.
The Vice President’s week started with a flight to Guatemala on Sunday, June 6. Below, Vice President Harris at Joint Base Andrews about to board Air Force Two.
Vice President Kamala Harris chose familiar styles for last night’s presidential debate in Philadelphia. She wore her Dior 30 Montaigne Jacket ($5000) and what looked like a version of the Straight Cut Pants ($1650). You have a better look at the ensemble in this photo of the Vice President and Second Gentleman at a Philadelphia watch party they […]
