What Has Been Learned: Joe and Jill Biden Light Up the Internet with their Cold Response to a Beaming Kamala Harris at the Kennedy Center

The interaction—or lack thereof—between Joe and Jill Biden and Kamala Harris at the Kennedy Center Honors has captured significant attention online, particularly for what appeared to be a cold response from the Bidens towards Harris.   The dislike is apparent.

The incident took place during the 47th Kennedy Center Honors, an event recognizing artists for their contributions to American culture. Despite being seated next to each other, the Bidens reportedly did not acknowledge Harris, with some observers noting a lack of eye contact or greeting as they took their seats.

Social media and various news outlets have commented on the apparent snub. There was speculation and commentary, with some users on X suggesting that the Bidens might have been showing personal or political discontent towards Harris. Phrases like "cold shoulder" were used to describe the interaction, highlighting the awkwardness of the moment.

This event comes in the backdrop of a complex relationship between the Bidens and Harris, especially after Joe Biden's decision to step down from the 2024 presidential race, where Harris was his endorsed successor. All done by political coup, of course. Reports and previous interactions have hinted at tensions, particularly from Jill Biden towards Harris, stemming from the 2020 Democratic primary debates and subsequent political maneuvers.  It seems the Democrats propensity to politically attack each other while virtue signaling has a long lasting effect.

The cold reception has fueled narratives about internal Democratic Party dynamics, with some interpreting it as a sign of lingering grudges or dissatisfaction with Harris's performance or leadership. There have been discussions about how this might reflect on party unity or the personal relationships at the top of the political hierarchy.

Various news sources, including conservative-leaning outlets like the New York Post and The Gateway Pundit, have covered the incident, often framing it as evidence of interpersonal discord. Left-leaning sources might downplay or contextualize such moments differently, focusing perhaps on the broader political context or dismissing it as overblown media speculation.

The incident at the Kennedy Center has been used to discuss not only personal dynamics but also broader political narratives about loyalty, succession, honesty, and the future direction of the Democratic Party. Their current state of disarray proves that the extremist views recently shown by the Democrat Party are what divides them.
