Kamala Harris has been taking some personal time after a four-month rushed campaign for the top spot. Her seven more weeks as vice-president end with Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025. Harris won 60 percent of the votes in Hawaii, where she and husband Doug Emhoff have relaxed for a long week, no doubt asking themselves how could we have come so close and lost to that angry guy as well as losing control of the entire Congress?
