Trump was not particularly fond of dogs. “I wouldn’t mind having a dog, but I don’t have time. What would it look like if I were walking a dog in the garden of the White House? ”He said in 2019. “I don’t know, it doesn’t feel right. It feels a bit fake. ” Biden responded to this earlier this month by means of a video on Twitter: “Let’s bring dogs back to the White House!”
New Vice President Kamala Harris doesn’t have dogs, but seems to love them. In 2019, she said on Twitter with a few sweet photos: “Dogs are always welcome in my office.”
