U.S. President Joe Biden surprised Vice President Kamala Harris, on Thursday, with a bouquet of flowers and a gift for her birthday.
Harris, 57, was flattered by the gesture and could not contain her happiness. “Really?” she said as the president walked into her office holding the bouquet, “Oh, I’m very touched,” she added as she leant in to kiss the president on the cheek.
President Biden then presented her with a framed photo of both of them laughing on the White House lawn. The pair posed for a picture during the gift-giving and Harris told the president: “I’m going to hang this up with great pride”.
The video of the flower-giving at the White House has already clocked up close to a million views since it was posted on Biden's official Twitter account.

Harris also celebrated her birthday with White House staff, who shouted “surprise” when she walked into the room where a chocolate cake, balloons, and more flowers were waiting for her.
On a separate note, the president and his second-in-command marked the 10th anniversary of the dedication of the Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial in Washington.
Harris said the monument “is dedicated to a man who lived among us.”
“This monument, whatever your age, is dedicated to a man whose voice we still hear, whose words still echo not only across this city but throughout our country and our world,” she added.
