Vice President Kamala Harris was mistakenly referred to as “Madam President” in a video with the cast of Netflix show “Queer Eye.” While one of the cast members correctly addressed her as “Madam Vice President,” the closed-captioning error went uncorrected. President Joe Biden has also mistakenly referred to Harris as “president” on at least eight occasions during his term. Despite these slip-ups, Harris has consistently defended Biden and downplayed the idea that she may need to step in and replace him during a hypothetical second term.
Harris has emphasized that Biden is capable and will be able to fulfill his duties, dismissing any speculation about her potentially taking over as president. She stressed that every vice president understands the responsibility they may have to assume the role of president if needed. Both Biden and Harris are expected to be formally renominated for their roles as president and vice president in a virtual setting before the deadline to make the Ohio ballot. The Democratic national convention is set to take place in Chicago from August 19-22.
Harris thanked the cast of “Queer Eye” for their visit to the White House and their discussion on the progress made by the LGBTQI+ community over the past 20 years. Despite the captioning error, the meeting was described as meaningful and productive, with Harris appreciating their approval of her office and their fabulousness. The video with the mistaken caption was shared by Harris on her official Twitter account, showcasing the positive interaction between the vice president and the show’s cast.
The repeated instances of Biden mistakenly referring to Harris as “president” have raised some eyebrows, with speculation and analysis surrounding the dynamics between the two leaders. While it could be seen as an innocent slip of the tongue, some observers have interpreted it as a reflection of underlying tensions or concerns within the administration. Harris has maintained her loyalty and support for Biden, consistently standing by his side and reaffirming her commitment to her role as vice president.
The relationship between Biden and Harris remains a subject of interest and scrutiny within political circles and the public. Despite occasional errors and misconceptions, both leaders have maintained a united front and a sense of professionalism in their interactions. Harris’s visit with the cast of “Queer Eye” served as a platform to discuss important issues and celebrate progress, showcasing her engagement with diverse communities. As the Democratic convention approaches, the focus will shift towards the formal renomination of Biden and Harris for the upcoming election.
