What is the name of the current Vice President of the United States?

The correct name of the current Vice President of the United States is Kamala Harris. She took office on January 20, 2021, and is the first woman, and the first African American and Asian American, to hold this position.

Karen Bass, while an important political figure, serves as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives and is not the Vice President. Mike Pence served as Vice President prior to Kamala Harris, from January 2017 to January 2021, and is not currently in office. Joe Biden is the President of the United States and, while closely associated with the role of Vice President, he is not the one currently holding that title.

Kamala Harris's position as Vice President is significant because it reflects the progress made in representation within the U.S. government.
