Advisers to then-Vice President Mike Pence dispute that an invitation was never offered. They say he quietly gave Harris and Emhoff a chance to visit in the waning days of the Trump administration. The invitation came discreetly because Trump resisted accommodating the incoming administration.

No formal sit-down between Pence and Harris ever took place, Democratic and Republican sources said.

The "discreetly" bit was apparently suggests something "informal" and probably caged towards avoiding the temper tantrums of 45, so not according to tradition, and certainly a bad look and insult IMHO.
