Vice President Kamala Harris’ niece, Meena Harris, recently shared heartwarming photos on social media of her daughters playing Connect Four with their grandaunt following the vice president’s loss in the 2024 presidential election.
The images capture a tender moment as Harris, clad in a Howard Bison sweatshirt, engages in a game of Connect Four with Meena’s children, Amara and Leela, on the floor. One of the grandnieces is seen sporting a Harris-Walz shirt, adding a personal touch to the family gathering.
Meena Harris expressed her gratitude on Instagram, reminiscing about the support they received during the campaign. She captioned the post with a heartfelt message, acknowledging the love and backing they have received from their supporters.
The post seemed to reflect on a moment from July when Harris received the news that President Joe Biden was withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race. In an interview with Dana Bash in August, Harris shared the emotional experience of learning about Biden’s decision while spending time with her family, including her baby nieces.
She recounted the scene of a cozy family breakfast, filled with pancakes and bacon requests from her nieces, before the unexpected phone call from Biden changed the course of events. Harris’s genuine reaction to the news highlighted the personal and human side of political transitions.
The photos shared by Meena Harris not only captured a simple game of Connect Four but also symbolized the bond and resilience within the Harris family. Despite the recent political setback, the family found solace and joy in each other’s company, reflecting on the journey they had embarked on together.
