Vice President Kamala Harris downplayed what looked like a kiss on the lips between her husband and first lady Jill Biden that has created a stir on social media.
Holding back a smile, Harris said she hadn’t seen footage of the buzz-worthy exchange between the presidential spouses during the State of the Union address Tuesday. She then quickly changed topics to her husband’s trip to Poland.

“No, I haven’t watched the video. I don’t know,” Harris replied when asked about the moment by Univision correspondent Edwin Pitti. “But I do know that the first lady and the second gentleman are working arduously with what we are doing with my husband against antisemitism, very important.”

Second Husband, Doug Emhoff and the first lady made the viral “smooch” while greeting each other ahead of the president’s speech before the joint session of Congress. Observers, particularly conservatives, sounded off on Twitter about the brief encounter, which spanned about a second.
“Jill Biden and Doug Emhoff greet each other with… a kiss on the lips? Is this… normal?” Daily Wire editor Cabot Phillips tweeted.

Harris then opined on her husband’s recent travel to Poland last week. There, he emphasized the need to combat antisemitism.
“He was just in Poland, in Krakow, and was visiting Auschwitz to visit what we need to do in order to fight against hate. He fights against antisemitism but also hatred towards immigrants, and sadly, we’ve seen that in our country,” Harris added.

The vice president has given multiple rare TV interviews after the State of the Union address. On Wednesday, she countered rumors that President Joe Biden planned to ditch her in 2024, stressing that she intends to run with him.
Joe Biden is expected to detail his reelection plans within the coming weeks. He has been dropping serious hints about his intentions, including on his recent trips to Florida and Wisconsin, as well as his combative State of the Union address.
