Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff are welcoming the Las Vegas Aces, the 2022 Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) Champions, to the White House. She will offer congratulatory remarks to the team on their WNBA Championship in the East Room. In attendance will be Las Vegas Aces President Nikki Fargas as well as the Las Vegas Aces Basketball Team. This event upholds a long-standing tradition of celebrating sports league champions, Olympic champions, and others at the White House, a tradition that dates back to President Coolidge. The Las Vegas Aces are the first professional sports team in Nevada history to win a championship and thus be invited to a championship ceremony at the White House.
