“Vice President Harris, Second Gentleman, former president Selina Meyer, welcome to the White House,” declared Joe Biden today, opening a ceremony in the Executive Mansion for the 2021 National Medals of Arts and the 2021 National Humanities Medals recipients. “A sacred place for many reasons, it’s the residence of the First Family, but it is really the people’s house,” the real-life POTUS added.
Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus was among “23 extraordinary Americans,” as Biden described them, being publicly awarded the honors Tuesday in a star-studded East Room gathering, first announced yesterday.
