I'll take your word for it that she's Kamala Harris, but I can't tell who she is. If she IS Kamala Harris, then I'm glad that she can do that safely. I HOPE that she can do that safely. Did she have Secret Service agents running with her?

POTUS and Veep are the most well-protected people in the country, along with their family members.

As far as being able to tell it's her, meeting someone in the flesh is a whole helluva lot different from us looking at a couple of snapshots.

...white guy who may be an agent — I blew up the photo but couldn’t see the tell-tale curly wire-earpiece combo on the side facing us.

There’s a lot more to IDing a person than the lower half of their face. This is them.

Since I was able to travel on my own I've visited DC
15 times. Eight were for protests, and seven for fun.
(even with protests we'd pick one museum to visit afterwards)

I feel the most patriotic in DC because I think of all
the people who've matched and rallied to make America better, live up to her promises.
I absolutely love The National Mall, The Reflecting Pool, the Lincoln Memorial.
All the Smithsonian Museums.

And I feel blessed bc I was there enough in the past to see it before they started putting the extra protective barriers and stuff starting sometime during Clinton's Presidency.

Almost every picture I see of WH staff, they all have masks on, which is such a refreshing thing to see after a year of this crap. Plus modeling a healthy lifestyle.

Peace

I think I wouldn’t post a pic of Kamaka out by the Lincoln Memorial. I’d just keep that in my memory, and keep her safe, in case some nutcase decides to check there every Sunday morning by go to see if she is waking around.

Just saying- loose lips sink ships.

should she really be out in public on her own? where's the security detail?

They are most definitely there. Just not photo bombing. They most likely scout the route, have multliple agents on a perimeter and close by.
