Vice President Kamala Harris, a noted fan of the Golden State Warriors, took to Twitter to welcome Jordan Poole to Washington, D.C. after his trade to the Wizards. The trade involved Poole, along with Patrick Baldwin Jr., Ryan Rollins, and two future draft picks, being sent from the Warriors to the Wizards in exchange for Chris Paul. The deal surprised the NBA community.
Harris shared a selfie of herself and Poole, which was taken during the Warriors’ visit to the White House in January to celebrate their 2022 NBA Finals victory. On that occasion, Warriors star Steph Curry presented Harris and President Joe Biden with personalized Warriors jerseys.
Poole, now playing for the Wizards, will be looking for a fresh start in the nation’s capital, while Chris Paul aims to win his first NBA championship with the Warriors’ veteran core of Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green.
Kamala Harris, originally from Oakland and a former junior California senator, will be supporting her hometown team’s rival-turned-player during the upcoming season, demonstrating her desire for both the Warriors’ success and Poole’s individual achievements.
