Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to glare at President-elect Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama as the two men chatted amiably ahead of the funeral of the late President Jimmy Carter.
The three attended Carter’s state funeral on Thursday and sat alongside other former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. The spouses of all were also present, except for Obama’s wife Michelle.
Trump and Obama appeared to joke with each other ahead of the ceremony. A C-SPAN camera caught Obama smiling and laughing at a remark from Trump. The presidential pair continued to nod along and talk as the camera rolled.
Harris sat a few feet in front of Obama and Trump. At one point, she turned back to look at the pair before turning forward again and appearing to let out a sigh.

Carter’s funeral ceremony took place Thursday morning in the Washington National Cathedral. From there, Carter’s body will be transported to Plains, Georgia, Carter’s hometown. Another ceremony — this one invite-only — will be held at Plains’ Maranatha Baptist Church.
Carter’s body will then be transported to his home for a U.S. Navy flyover in honor of Carter’s military service and for his time as commander-in-chief. He will be interred next to his wife, Rosalynn, after a private graveside ceremony.
Carter died on December 29, several months after turning 100.
In a unique twist, Carter’s funeral ceremony featured posthumous eulogies from former President Gerald Ford and former Vice President Walter Mondale. Both men wrote eulogies for Carter before they died that their sons, Steven Ford and Ted Mondale, delivered.
