Kamala Harris Makes Surprise Trip to Brittney Griner's First WNBA Game Back
The second couple joined Griner and her team in the Mercury locker room shortly after Harris, Emhoff, and the Griners had their private one-on-one.

“I came here to talk to the team to congratulate you on exhibiting excellence in every way,” Harris told the players.

“You are some of the finest athletes in the world, and to do what you do every day shows that it is right to have ambition,” she said. “It is right to have aspirations. It is right to work hard. It is right to compete when you know you have put everything into it; when you have trained, when you have discipline, when you have intelligence, and when you have brilliance.”

She added, “It makes me so proud as Vice President of the United States to go around the world talking to folks about a variety of issues, and one of the subjects that does come up is the WNBA. [The world] is watching what you guys are doing, lifting up the excellence of the finest athletes in the world.”
