| Vice President Kamala Harris was in the spotlight again as President Joe Biden mistakenly referred to her as president during a Stanley Cup celebration at the White House on Monday. Kamala Harris Heightens National Spotlight as Biden Calls Her 'President' During White House Stanley Cup Celebration Vice President Kamala Harris was under the national spotlight again on Monday, as President Joe Biden inadvertently referred to her as president during a Stanley Cup celebration at the White House. During the celebration, President Biden introduced the members of the Stanley Cup-winning Tampa Bay Lightning team, saying they had an "unprecedented opportunity to meet the President" - referring to Harris, not himself. Though he quickly caught himself, Biden's initial slip-up led to cheers and applause from the Lightning team and other guests. The gaffe, which Biden laughed off, was most likely a result of his respect for the Vice President and the progress she has helped to make in the role. As the first female and first Black and South Asian Vice President, Harris has been an inspiration for many and has won the admiration of millions of Americans. Her heightening profile in recent months is a testament to her accomplishments since taking office. Despite the slip-up, the Stanley Cup celebration was full of joy and hope as the players posed for a group photo with Biden and Harris. The Vice President was all smiles as she details her meeting with the Lightning team, and talked to them about the importance of making dreams a reality. She went on to urge them to "continue to have a dream and follow it with a plan and dedication." It was a heartfelt and impactful moment that highlighted Harris' presence at the White House. |
