Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to give a look of disgust Thursday as President-elect Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama engaged in some banter prior to the funeral service for former President Jimmy Carter.
Carter, the 39th president, died on Dec. 29 at the age of 100, making him the longest-living former commander-in-chief in U.S. history.
Trump and Obama were seated next to each other for Carter’s service at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins noted the friendly exchange between the two, during which both smiled and laughed. “These are just moments that you do not see, hardly ever,” she said.
Jeff Zeleny, the network’s chief national affairs correspondent, agreed.
“It truly is extraordinary,” he said, but he pointed out, “If you look from these presidencies, they are linked from one to another to another.”
