WASHINGTON, D.C. — The traditional unwrapping of presents at the White House took an awkward turn this morning when Jill Biden started snickering uncontrollably after Kamala Harris opened up a gift containing a brand new MAGA hat.

According to sources, the morning started off peacefully with chocolate chip pancakes for everyone and a bottle of red wine for Harris before the officials gathered to open presents.

“It’s nice and round… is it another Pinot?” Harris asked while feeling the present before tearing open the wrapping paper. “Hang on a second. Okay, people, real funny. Who got me the MAGA hat?”

Harris reportedly glared around the room from face to face, dismissing Joe Biden, who was still eating his pancakes, and finally settling on Jill Biden, who was unsuccessfully trying to hold back guffaws in the corner.

“Did you see her face? So classic!” Jill Biden said later, still struggling to hold back her laughter. “I had to go all the way to Alabama to find that baby. It’s an unopened original MAGA hat from 2016. Serves her right for all the monkey business earlier this summer. Merry Christmas, Kamala! Hope that gift brings you joy!”

At publishing time, insiders said that the mood at the party had grown even more uncomfortable after Jill Biden opened her present to find a Fisher Price Doctor’s Kit from the vice president’s office.
