Kamala Harris skips invitation to JD Vance to VP house; Usha wants to know how to childproof mansion

Kamala Harris did not invite JD Vance and Usha Vance to take a tour of the VP house.

Vice President Kamala Harris did not extend any invitation to the incoming Vice President JD Vance and his family which is customary so that the new vice president can familiarize with their new abode. CBS News confirmed citing multiple Democratic and Republican sources that Kamala Harris did not invite JD Vance for a formal sit-down or a tour. JD Vance's wife Usha Vance in November reached out to the staff seeking details including what they would need to childproof the Naval Observatory residence that they would move into on January 20. All their three children -- Ewan,. Vivek and Miravel -- are under the age of eight. The report said that the questions were initially rebuffed by a political appointee of Harris. But then there was communication between the Vance team and Navy aides who oversee the residence.
Before Christmas, Navy officials provided an overview of the house to discuss the layout of the residence, logistics and practicalities of the move-in, and to help answer any questions the Vances had, a person familiar with the call said.

Last week, the report said, Usha Vance spoke with Emhoff for about 40 minutes and Harris sources confirmed that arrangements are underway to accommodate the Vance children.
'Kamala Harris was never invited beforehand either'

The report said that Kamala Harris herself did not get an opportunity to visit the home beforehand. But this claim has been contested as advisers to Mike Pence said Harrus and Emhoff were quietly given a change to visit while Trump was claiming that he did not lose the election. The invitation was secret and without Donald Trump's knowledge. No formal sit-down between Pence and Harris took place.
Harris' team said they were focused on an overseas trip that was canceled and then on the California wildfires. In 2016, then Vice president Biden and Jill hosted the Pences. This time too, the Bidens held their official sit-down with Donald Trump sans Melania.
Kamala Harris did not move into the Naval Observatory residence until April 2021 as the house was in need of repairs.
