Kamala Harris made her first public appearance since her concession speech last week.
Harris visited the Arlington National Cemetery, where she was accompanied by her husband, Doug Emhoff, and Jill and Joe Biden.
However, videos of the event showed Jill and Kamala appearing to completely ignore each other, causing some users on social media to speculate that the two are at war.
Steve Cortes took to X and wrote, “It’s safe to say that Jill Biden hates Kamala Harris’s guts.”

Watch Jill Biden evidently give Kamala the cold shoulder as she arrives at Arlington National Cemetery
Kamala shook everyone’s hand before swiftly racing past Jill as the cameras were rolling
They’re not taking the loss well.

Here’s what the Times of India reported:
Kamala Harris made her first public appearance after her concession speech yesterday at a Veterans Day event at the Arlington National Cemetery. It was a joint appearance of the outgoing president and vice-president as both Biden and Kamala Harris were there. Joe Biden and Jill Biden were not present at Howard University where Kamala Harris gave her concession speech — making it clear how they distanced themselves from the election loss.
Now videos of Kamala Harris and Jill Biden are going viral with two claims — Kamala Harris ignored Jill Biden; Jill completely ignored Kamala Harris. Who ignored who remains open to interpretation as they were seen sitting beside each other and not even exchanging a glance in the viral videos. Jill Biden was wearing sunglasses and looked straight and Kamala Harris too was seen looking in the other direction where their glances could not meet. Jill Biden however spoke with Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff as seen later.
It is not a secret that both Joe Biden and Jill held a grudge when the outgoing president was made to drop out of the presidential election. It was a decision dominated by the party veterans and Biden had no other option than to abide by endorsing Kamala Harris. Jill Biden too campaigned for Kamala Harris but the Bidens did not let go of the grudge.

Per Nicki Swift:
During a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on November 11, Joe Biden gave one of his final speeches as president. It was a moving moment, however, it was overcast by the irate iciness between First Lady Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. In a video posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, the first lady steeled her jaw, kept her sunglasses on, and stared straight ahead during the remarks given by President Biden — seeming to ignore Harris, who was sitting right next to her. This led to rumors spilling over onto social media that Jill has held a grudge against Harris for a while now.
The rupture between Jill Biden and Kamala Harris reportedly began back in 2019, when Harris was running for president, campaigning against Joe Biden. In an early debate, Harris pushed back against Joe over his previous track record of supporting segregationist policies. This seems to have ruffled the feathers of Jill, who is ferociously loyal to her husband and family. When it was decided that Joe would drop out of the 2024 presidential race, sources told the Daily Mail that Jill was upset about the push for him to step aside. But after Joe pivoted to support Harris in her presidential bid, Jill begrudgingly followed suit.
The first lady attended some efforts to encourage people to vote for Harris and was behind several voter registration and early voting campaigns. However, it’s possible that Jill’s support for Harris really boiled down to the fact that Harris’ campaign was seen as an extension of the Biden presidential legacy. Now that Harris has lost the election, it seems all love has been lost between her and Jill. Especially with the message Jill sent with her Election Day outfit.
Jill wore all red to vote. As the wife of a democrat politician there’s no way she doesn’t know how this looks. Biden and Jill are pissed. pic.twitter.com/aHb5k4VZUe
