Kamala Harris is just days away from being sworn in as the first female vice president, but that's not stopping her from enjoying some viral TikTok fame in a video that has been seen tens of millions of times.
Her niece, Meena Harris, posted a video on the social media site on Wednesday, the day the House of Representatives voted to impeach Donald Trump for a record-breaking second time.
Glamour reports the blue and white crew socks Harris is wearing in the video - which proudly say 'The Future Is Female' - are from a company called Gumball Poodle.
The socks, which the company boasts are made in the United States, retail for $13 on their website.
Demand has increased for the socks, though, which Gumball Poodle says may lead to some temporary shipping delays.

So far, the TikTok has been viewed over 15.3 million times; Meena Harris also posted the same video on Instagram and Twitter.
At the start of the video, Kamala Harris seems to be talking to someone else out of the frame when Meena begins speaking from the camera.
'Auntie, I got you a gift,' Meena says. 'Im-peach-mints!'
It takes Harris a second to process the joke as she's handed a jar of peach-flavored mints before she bursts into laughter as the video ends.
Kamala Harris has been no stranger to going viral over the past few months in the lead-up to her historic swearing in.

A portrait of Harris created by a teenager went viral, leading to an even more buzzy moment when Harris decided to give the teen a call.
A video of the moment Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election also went viral, with Harris and Biden sharing an emotional exchange over the phone.
Assuming an impeachment trial in the Senate doesn't begin in the next few days, Harris will no longer be able to vote in the trial as a Congress member, although she may be in a position to break a deadlock as the vice president.
According to ABC News, Harris will be sworn in by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina Supreme Court Justice.
She will use two bibles during her swearing-in, one she previously used for other swearing-in ceremonies and one that belonged to Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.
