Chief spokeswoman Symone Sander said on Thursday that Vice President Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff will move into the vice president’s official residence next week after their move was delayed for more than two months because of ”repairs to the home.”

Harris and Emhoff have been temporarily living at Blair House, the President’s guest quarter on Pennsylvania Avenue across from the White House, since Harris took office. The vice president’s official residence is located on the grounds of the US Naval Observatory a couple of miles from the White House .

”The repairs included maintenance on the HVAC system , replacing the lines in the chimneys and refurbishing of some of the hardwood floors,” Sanders tweeted, adding that the repairs were more easily conducted with the home unoccupied.

According to the White House , the 19th – century home in northwest Washington,DC, has been the official residence of the vice president since Walter Mondale held the office.
