Hey y'all! It is an exciting day at the White House as President Biden & VP Kamala Harris welcome Team USA (summer & winter Olympics)! But first I'm on hand to cover a Black Community Stakeholders Call with Black Olympians. More to follow...
Trey Baker, Senior Advisor for Public Engagement, kicks off the Black Community Stakeholders Call with Wesley Williams, guide for Paralympic sprinter Lex Gillette. Gillette has 5 silver medals in the Long Jump.
The other athletes slated to join the call were intercepted by VP, so hopefully Wesley Williams gets closer to meeting her than this picture.
PS- He has already met President Biden before on his previous trips to the White House.
Lots of excitement from the #TeamUSA athletes here for today's festivities. 🥇🥈🥉
You cannot be in the bleachers on the White House lawn and *not* do the wave. #TeamUSA having a bit of fun!
Spot any of your fav #TeamUSA Summer 2020 or Winter 2022 athletes? There are over 700 athletes here as well as family.
On competing during a pandemic: "You all have been through so damn...darn much"<---One thing about President Biden is he is going to slip up and say damn. #TeamUSA approved!
