Vice President Kamala Harris has reportedly refused to preside over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s joint address to Congress on Wednesday.
A “senior source” familiar with the planning told Juliegrace Brufke, a Capitol Hill reporter with Axios, that Harris and Senate President Pro-Tempore Patty Murray (D-WA) would not be presiding over Netanyahu’s joint address to Congress.
Harris declining to preside over Netanyahu’s speech comes after President Joe Biden revealed on Sunday that he was withdrawing from the presidential election and endorsed Harris as the Democrat Party’s presidential nominee.
