Kamala Harris has turned her focus back to her home state of California after passing the vice-presidential torch to JD Vance on January 20.

The day Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States.

Shortly after the historic inauguration, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, boarded a U.S. Air Force C-32 operated for the first time by an all-female crew.

A milestone that highlights Harris’ legacy of breaking barriers.

Her first stop was Southern California, where wildfires have ravaged communities, leaving devastation in their wake.

Determined to provide support, Harris met with firefighters on the front lines and joined forces with the nonprofit World Central Kitchen to distribute food to affected families.

Her visit marked a poignant return to her roots as a Californian and a leader devoted to community service.

Harris had hoped to visit her home state before leaving office, but time constraints prevented it.

Nevertheless, she ensured her administration’s response to the crisis was robust.

“President Biden and I convened local, state, and federal officials for a briefing on our coordinated response to the wildfires across Southern California,” Harris shared on X, formerly Twitter.

“To my fellow Californians: We are with you. And we will be with you as communities recover and rebuild.”

Her message celebrated the resilience of Californians and the heroic efforts of first responders.

“From our heroic first responders to the neighbors who are helping each other, Californians are stepping up and showing the best of the American spirit in a moment of crisis,” she added.

Before departing for California, Harris and Emhoff met with JD Vance and his wife, Usha, for tea—a White House tradition symbolizing the peaceful transition of power.

The day’s events, including Trump’s inauguration ceremony inside the Capitol Rotunda due to frigid weather, signified several historic firsts.
