They’re learning from the boss.
Vice President Kamala Harris got an inadvertent promotion this week when she was dubbed “Madam President” by a caption on a video of her meeting with the cast of Netflix show “Queer Eye.”
Near the end of the clip, which was tweeted by Harris’ official X account Tuesday, one of the cast members addressed her as “Madam Vice President,” but the caption read “Madam President” instead.
It was not immediately clear whether the closed-captioning was done manually or if it was a software-generated error. However, the video with the botched caption was posted uncorrected by Harris, 59.
“Thank you for a meaningful conversation, for giving my office your stamp of approval, and for being fabulous,” the veep wrote in a message accompanying the video.
President Biden, 81, has referred to his No. 2 as “president” at least eight times during his term of office.
Biden most recently made the error last month during a joint news conference with Kenyan President William Ruto.
Since taking office, Harris has long defended Biden and downplayed any notion from his critics that she may need to step in and replace him during a hypothetical second term.
“Joe Biden is going to be fine. So that is not going to come to fruition,” Harris told the Associated Press last year when asked about the prospect.
“But let us also understand that every vice president — every vice president — understands that when they take the oath, that they must be very clear about the responsibility they may have to take over the job of being president. I am no different.”
Both Biden and Harris are poised to be formally renominated for president and vice president in a virtual setting at some point before the Aug. 7 deadline to make the Ohio ballot.
From there, Democrats will hold their national convention in Chicago Aug. 19-22.
