who wants her to be called Vice President Harris, not Madam Vice President Harris?

It's like college sports teams, back in the day when Title IX kicked in and women's sports started showing up. I hated hearing teams called the Lady [Mascots], instead of just the [Mascots]. The different name always seemed lesser, somehow.

Or maybe it's just me....

before the title when directly addressing the person.

When referring to her in the third person, she will be called Vice President Harris, and he will be called President Biden.
