Vice President Kamala Harris accepted flowers from the president and was serenaded by a roomful of staffers as she celebrated her birthday from the White House on Wednesday.

President Joe Biden held a bouquet and a frame as he walked into the vice president’s office in a 34-second video posted on Twitter Wednesday night.

Harris, 57, wore a grey blazer and matching pants and stood behind her desk, laughing at the sight of the commander-in-chief bearing gifts.

‘Really? Aw Joe, I’m very touched. Thank you,’ she said, kissing him on the cheek.

Biden turned the frame to reveal a photo of he and the vice president smiling and walking alongside each other in front of the White House.

Also on Wednesday, the former Senator from California walked into a room full of staffers a in a large White House dining room.

Balloons covered the table, which held a chocolate sheet cake with a single slice cut out and a candle on top.

The crowd shouted, ‘Surprise!’ and sang Happy Birthday, and Harris accepted yet another bushel of flowers.

Masked staffers lined the room and filmed the celebration.

Harris was born on October 20, 1964 in Oakland, California to Tamil Indian biologist Shyamala Gopalan and Stanford professor Donald J. Harris, who is from Jamaica.

On Wednesday, Harris criticized Republicans in the Senate after they blocked voting rights’ legislation for the third time this year.   

The Freedom to Vote Act, which would make Election Day a national holiday, was opposed by all 50 Republicans in the upper chamber.

Though Harris can break ties as vice president, 60 votes are required in order to break a filibuster, a tactic used to delay the passage of a bill often through endless debate. 

The legislation would combat what Democrats say are restrictive anti-voting measures being put in place in Republican-led states that disenfranchise poor and Black and Latino voters.

The bill would also require states to allow at least 15 consecutive days of early voting in places with at least 3,000 voters and would allow citizens to vote early with no excuse needed.

‘The United States Senate and members of the United States Senate had an opportunity to uphold the importance of every American’s right to exercise their fundamental right in a democracy – which is their right to vote,’ Harris told reporters.

‘When presented with this opportunity, the Democrats unanimously upheld the importance of that right. And the Republicans, sadly, unanimously failed to do so.’
