Thursday evening’s State of the Union address drew much attention and was watched by millions of Americans across the country.
One of the most noted moments was Vice President Kamala Harris appearing to give House Speaker Mike Johnson a cold shoulder leading up to President Joe Biden’s speech on the House floor.
On video posted on X, formerly Twitter, Harris is seen standing next to Johnson with her arms crossed. Neither of them speak to each other.
“Look at her body language. Arms crossed. Standing back. She’s giving the cold shoulder,” one user wrote.
“No offense but it looks like they gave each other the cold shoulder,” wrote another.
“Look at the body language. SHE is completely & unequivocally closed off. That’s a do not enter sign,” another tweeted.
“That’s my VP!!” one user posted.
But some reports say Harris and Johnson did exchange warm words. Ahead of the speech, Newsweek reported that the two politicians shook hands and chatted momentarily.
Biden’s State of the Union address arrives as he endeavors to present his case for reelection to the American people. With Biden emerging as the presumptive Democratic nominee, the stage seems set for a potential rematch against former President Donald Trump in November. In the lead-up to the address, Republicans have been keen on highlighting what they perceive as missteps by the administration, particularly in matters concerning the economy and foreign policy.
Meanwhile, Super Tuesday proved to be a pivotal moment in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, boasting the largest number of delegates up for grabs on a single day. Former President Donald Trump, holding a commanding lead as the GOP frontrunner, emerged as the primary victor, securing the majority of delegates across the 15 states participating in the contests.
The outcome of Super Tuesday significantly smooths Trump’s path towards securing the Republican presidential nomination. With Haley’s departure from the race, the stage is now set for a potential rematch of the 2020 race for the White House between Trump and President Biden. Notably, President Biden also swept all 15 states where Democratic voters voiced their preferences, setting the stage for what promises to be a closely watched and highly contested November general election.
