Who holds the position of Vice President of the United States?

The position of Vice President of the United States is currently held by Kamala Harris, who was sworn in on January 20, 2021. She is the first woman and the first person of South Asian and African American descent to hold this office. The Vice President serves alongside the President, playing a crucial role in legislative procedures, representing the President in different capacities, and stepping in if the President is unable to fulfill their duties.

The other individuals mentioned have held or currently hold significant political roles but do not serve as Vice President at this time. JD Vance is a U.S. Senator from Ohio, Mike Pence served as Vice President under Donald Trump from 2017 to 2021, and Al Gore was Vice President from 1993 to 2001 under Bill Clinton. Their influence and contributions to American politics are notable, but they do not occupy the current vice presidency.
