VP Harris refuses to take knee during awkward photo op with Golden State Warriors

A White House photo op with the Golden State Warriors veered into awkward territory Tuesday, when Vice President Kamala Harris refused to take a knee in front of the team alongside President Biden.

A video taken just before the photo shows the president and the vice president discussing how they should pose when Mr. Biden made the final call to kneel in front of the NBA champions, drawing laughs from the crowd as coach Steve Kerr attempted to wave him off.

“I’m not doing that,” Ms. Harris said while laughing before striking her final pose with her feet planted firmly between Steph Curry and Andre Iguodala.
