It's not Trump and Vance, or Harris and Walz grabbing all the attention in Washington, D.C. ... instead, it's Bao Li and Qing Bao -- the new giant pandas at the National Zoo.

The duo arrived in style Tuesday -- flying private, on a FedEx cargo jet, from China ... and as soon as they got to their new home, they got the celeb treatment. News choppers tracked their journey from the airport ... and the zoo released video of them settling into their enclosure.

The reason folks lined up outside the zoo hoping to catch just a glimpse of Bao and Qing is because the zoo's been panda-less for a year now. Last fall the National Zoo sent its last 3 pandas back to China, and no one knew when, or if, it would get any back.
