Who is currently the Vice President of the United States?

The Vice President of the United States is currently Kamala Harris. She was inaugurated on January 20, 2021, and is the first woman, the first Black woman, and the first person of South Asian descent to hold the office. Her role includes presiding over the Senate, being available to assume the Presidency if needed, and representing the administration in various capacities.

Michael R. Pence served as Vice President under Donald Trump from 2017 to 2021, but he is no longer in office. Joe Biden is the President, not the Vice President. Newt Gingrich has never served as Vice President; he was the Speaker of the House from 1995 to 1999. Thus, identifying Kamala Harris as the current Vice President reflects accurate and up-to-date knowledge of the U.S. government structure.
