Vice President Kamala Harris is considered a “close contact” for Covid-19, but yesterday she was spotted at the Senate confirmation vote for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson without a mask on:

Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Jen Psaki about both days, and the White House press secretary explained the “science” behind Harris breaking with CDC guidelines:
PSAKI: Kamala Harris "has been wearing a mask inside.”
DOOCY: “She wasn’t wearing a mask yesterday at the Senate.”
PSAKI: “She was playing an important role in confirming…the first black woman to the Supreme Court.” pic.twitter.com/ft1ZIktQy2

That’s how science works.
