Harris is Gradually Edging Into the Oval, 3545

Good evening, I’m still reporting on the coup.
Vice President Kamala Harris -since her inauguration - has been living at The Blair House which is the official guest house for the White House. Foreign heads often stay there when making a call on the president. Queen Elizabeth has stayed there.
It’s across the street from the White House and reportedly is like being the only guest in a five star hotel.
The question is why hasn’t Harris moved to the Vice Presidential mansion which is about two and half miles from the White House in northwest Washington DC. It is on the grounds of the Naval Observatory and was originally the home for the supervisor of the Naval Observatory.
Walter Mondale was the first Vice President to live in the Vice Presidential Mansion. It was available for Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, but when he was vice president under President Gerald Ford, Rockefeller chose to live in his own house. No doubt because it was nicer.
Vice President Mike Pence lived in the Vice Presidential mansion until Jan. 20 of this year and it was announced that the house would be undergoing some renovations so Vice President Harris would stay at the Blair House, that was almost two months ago.
One has to assume that the house was suitable for Pence and his family. There were not reports of ceilings falling or floors caving in. So why does it take so long to do minor renovations. One would think that since the government had from November to January 20 to plan for the renovations that as soon as Pence moved out, the crews would have come in and gotten the work done.
Is a house nice enough for Pence, not nice enough for Harris?
Or does Harris not want to be that far away from the White House?
If a crisis comes up in the middle of the night do they -- and they in this case is whoever is calling the shots inside the White House now -- don’t want Harris to be two miles away.
I mean, it’s a straight shot down Massachusetts Ave., bear right on Connecticut and you are inside the North gate of the White House. Travel time via Vice Presidential limo surrounded by DC cops and Secret Service vehicles – oh, maybe 5 minutes tops.
