Kamala Harris is not in for much of a surprise when it comes to pay if she gets elected come this November. That’s because the presidential salary has stayed the same since before the 21st century—it last changed in 1999, under the Clinton administration.
Even if it’s no shock, Harris’s potential promotion would come with a substantial pay raise. As vice president of the United States, Harris makes $235,100 annually. The president, meanwhile, gets paid $400,000 yearly. That means Harris could be poised to make almost double as president compared to her run as the veep.
