The two made a rare joint appearance at a somber gathering in Minnesota, where political leaders, grieving families, and members of the public came together to honor the life of a former House Speaker.
Former President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris recently attended the funeral of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, following their deaths in a suspected politically driven assault. The two leaders sat side by side during the Catholic Mass and were later seen clasping hands during prayer.

The private service took place Saturday morning, June 28, at the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis. Over 1000 people were in attendance, including members of Congress, state officials, and friends of the couple.
Biden wore a black suit and navy tie, while Harris appeared in a dark coat dress pinned with a remembrance button. As the congregation rose for the Lord’s Prayer, the two held each other’s hands in a moment of stillness.
