Who is the current Vice President of the United States?

The Vice President of the United States, as of the last update, is Kamala Harris. She took office on January 20, 2021, and is the first woman, as well as the first woman of Black and South Asian descent, to hold this position. The role of the Vice President includes advising the President, representing the United States during state functions, and stepping in as President when necessary.

In contrast, the other individuals listed do not currently hold the office of Vice President. Pete Buttigieg is the Secretary of Transportation, JD Vance is a U.S. Senator from Ohio, and Mike Pence served as Vice President from 2017 to 2021 but is no longer in that position. Understanding the current roles of these individuals can provide broader context for understanding the political landscape and the current administration's structure.
