    Yeah, we all know it’s her first name, no one calls her that unless they have a personal relationship with her. I’m not even saying it has to be “Madame Vice-President” or anything so formal, but no one refers to the former president as “Donald” either…

      Its unusual maybe, but with the current weaponization of the word weird its a point worth making. Its not weird to call someone by their first name.

      Awkward in as elections go, but I think its worth pointing out how completely normal it is to use her first name when refering to her.

      Its much like calling your parent by their first name. Its different, but not wierd in the new sense of the word weird
