    During the ceremony, a humorous interaction was caught on C-SPAN cameras between the vice president and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

    “Stand right here. Although that is not your nature to just stand wherever you’re told to stand, but give it a try,” Harris said to Sanders as the senator approached her to be sworn in.

    Sanders let out a brief smile in response.
