Trump and Kamala’s First Meeting Since Election

In January, Vice President Kamala Harris and President-elect Donald Trump are expected to cross paths for the first time since the 2024 election. The occasion will be the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter, which is scheduled for January 9. Carter, who passed away at the age of 100, left behind a legacy of public service that will be commemorated in a state funeral attended by political figures from across the spectrum. Both Harris and Trump are likely to be present at this historic event, which will be a solemn reminder of the duties and responsibilities that come with serving the American people.

President Joe Biden has declared January 9 a national day of mourning in honor of Carter, and the state funeral will follow a long-standing tradition of former presidents attending the funerals of their predecessors. Alongside Biden, the funeral will likely be attended by former presidents, including Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, as well as Trump, who will have recently been elected back to the White House. Harris, as the sitting vice president, will also attend, marking the first time since the election that she and Trump will share the same public space.

The last time Harris and Trump were in close proximity was during the 2024 election campaign, including the presidential debates and a memorial service for the 9/11 attacks in September. Since then, Trump emerged victorious, and both Harris and Trump will soon experience a dramatic shift in their respective political roles. On January 20, Trump will return to the presidency, while Harris will leave the vice president’s office, having served her term under Biden.

In statements made after Carter’s passing, both Harris and Trump paid tribute to the former president’s dedication to service. Harris highlighted Carter’s character, faith, and commitment to public service, while Trump acknowledged their ideological differences but praised Carter’s love for the country.

Though political opponents, the shared respect for Carter at his funeral will serve as a powerful reminder of the dignity of the office of the president and the importance of unity, even in times of division. The event is bound to be a moment where both sides of the political aisle come together to honor a man who dedicated his life to his country.
