MOSCOW - US Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost the US presidential election to Republican candidate Donald Trump, needed to vacation with her family in Hawaii, reported Sputnik.

"The vice president has taken time off to go spend time with her family. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.

"I think she deserves some time to be with her family and to have some downtime. She has worked very hard over - for the last four years," said White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre at a briefing.

Harris arrived in Hawaii on Tuesday with her husband Doug Emhoff for about a weeklong stay, media reported. A presidential election took place in the United States on November 5.
