What is the name of the current Vice President of the United States?

The correct answer, Kamala Harris, is the current Vice President of the United States as of October 2023. She has been serving in this role since January 20, 2021, making history as the first woman and the first person of African and Asian descent to hold the office. Her responsibilities include assisting the President, presiding over the Senate, and participating in diplomatic relations.

In contrast, other options listed do not reflect the current officeholder. Mike Pence previously served as Vice President from 2017 to 2021 under President Donald Trump, while George W. Bush was the President from 2001 to 2009, not the Vice President. Any reference to "Vance" does not correspond to well-known political figures in the context of the current vice presidency. This reinforces the importance of knowing current officeholders to understand the political landscape better.
