<p><span style="font-weight:400">Former Vice President Kamala Harris “rebuffed” a request from the Vance family to allow their children a tour of the vice president’s residence ahead of the inauguration, according to Vice President JD Vance.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Vance revealed the apparent snub during an appearance on the inaugural episode of the Katie Miller Podcast that aired on Monday. Harris, branded as “Momala” during the presidential campaign, reportedly denied the Vance children an early chance to see the house they would live in for the next four years.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">“I think that, normally, it’s customary for the outgoing vice president to show the incoming vice president’s family the house,” Vance said. “We have three little kids, so I guess at the time our kids were, like, 7, 5, and, you know, 2 – I guess Mirabel turned 3 right before the inauguration.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">“Usha really wanted to show [the children where they would be living], so what we actually proposed is, recognizing the weirdness of the politics, can Usha take the kids over and just show them where they’re going to be living for the next 4 years, and they were rebuffed,” Vance said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Instead, Vance and his wife introduced their children to the vice presidential residence through photos.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">“A friend of ours in Cincinnati had a book about the vice president’s residence, and so we would show the kids what it would look like, but that’s as close as they ever got to it” before the inauguration, Vance said.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight:400">Harris snubbed the vice president, as well. Traditionally, the sitting vice president has invited the incoming vice president to the residence ahead of inauguration, though Harris skipped the custom with Vance.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Harris has often brought up her role as “Momala” to her stepchildren, Cole and Ella, gained through her marriage to her husband Doug Emhoff. The nickname was agreed upon one night by Harris and Ella a couple years after Harris and Emhoff were married.</span></p>
