Revealed: Kamala Harris' 'Radical' Marxist Father Lives One Mile From White House — but Has Never Once Visited VP Daughter!

It remains unclear if Harris' father has ever visited her at her government-provided home on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory, where visitor logs are not made public.

One possible explanation for his absence could be wanting to keep a safe distance from what he described as the "political hullabaloo" surrounding his ambitious daughter.

While Harris previously confessed she and her father were "not close", she has been open about her love and admiration for her late mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris.

When she accepted her party's nomination for president at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last week, she said her father encouraged her to be "fearless", before later adding: "It was mostly my mother who raised us."

Cameras often fixed on Harris' support system, which she described as a "big, blended family", throughout the evening.

Sitting in the crowd was her husband, Doug Emhoff, her two step-children, her sister Maya – who took the stage and gushed over her sister's accomplishments – and her nieces and grand-nieces.

Even Emhoff's ex-wife Kerstin was present. But Donald Harris was not spotted in the crowd, though it's not clear if he was invited or not.

Vice President Harris has been open about her upbringing and the impact her parents' divorce had on her as a child.

In her memoir The Truths We Hold, Harris described growing up in a home filled with music and love when her parents were still together. The family moved to Illinois, where her father worked as a professor.

When she was five years old, Harris said her mother and father "stopped being kind to each other" and eventually split. Harris' mom moved her and her sister back to Oakland, California, where she spoke about being raised in a diverse community while her single mother worked to support their family.

Donald Harris wrote about how an "early phase of interaction with my children came to an abrupt halt in 1972" in a 2018 essay for Jamaica Global. He seemingly blamed the California court system for the fractured relationship with his children.

He wrote: "After a hard-fought custody battle in the family court (…) the context of the relationship was placed within arbitrary limits imposed by a court-ordered divorce settlement based on the false assumption by the State of California that fathers cannot handle parenting.

"Nevertheless, I persisted, never giving up on my love for my children or reneging on my responsibilities as their father."
