Kamala Harris' socks have become a social media sensation amid her niece's mocking of Donald Trump's second impeachment on social media.

The soon-to-be vice president's socks found unlikely fame after her niece, Meena Harris, posted a video to TikTok on Wednesday, the day of Donald Trump's second impeachment.

Meena also posted the video to Instagram, where she captioned it "happy impeachment day" alongside a peach emoji.

Watch Meena's impeachment joke below: 

In the video, Kamala's 'Future is Female' socks are clearly on display, and Glamour reports that the socks are the creation of a company called Gumball Poodle.

The socks, which are manufactured in the US, retail for $13, and unsurprisingly, demand for the items has reportedly increased significantly in recent days.

The video begins with Kamala sitting on a chair while she appears to be talking to someone who is out of the frame, and it's then that Meena starts talking from the camera.

"Auntie, I got you a gift," Meena says. "Im-peach-mints!"

She then hands the future vice president a jar of peach-flavored mints and Kamala bursts into laughter as the video ends.

Needless to say, the video went down a storm on social media and people flocked to the comments section to react.

One Instagram user wrote: "Is it ok to admit that I've watched this like 10 times in a row already?"

Another added: "It's the socks for me."

ABC News reports that Kamala will be sworn in as vice president by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina Supreme Court Justice.

The ceremony will involve the 56-year-old using two Bibles; one that Kamala previously used for other swearing-in ceremonies and another that previously belonged to Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.

Kamala previously said that she will be thinking of her late mother when she is sworn into office.

"I'll be thinking about all those girls and boys," Harris, 56, told Robin Roberts, per People. "You know, before the pandemic struck, fathers and the mothers that would bring them around and say, 'You know, you can do anything.' "

Harris then said of her own mother, who died of cancer in 2009, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan: "I was raised by a mother who said to me all the time, 'Kamala, you may be the first to do many things - make sure you're not the last.' "

"That's how I feel about this moment," Harris said.
