A’ja Wilson, Dawn Staley and Becky Hammon address media
A’ja Wilson, Dawn Staley and Becky Hammon speak to media on Friday before Las Vegas Aces play a preseason game in Columbia on Saturday
Less than two days after South Carolina women’s basketball received a shoutout at the Democratic National Convention, coach Dawn Staley posted to social media that she is at the DNC on Thursday night.
Staley posted images from both the outside and inside of Chicago’s United Center, and included an image of Sen. Elizabeth Warren speaking on stage, in her post on X. She captioned it, “Chicago what’s up?!! We are in the house!”
This is the final night of the DNC, which began Monday night. The four-day long convention is to raise support for Vice President Kamala Harris, who is running with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential race
After the Gamecocks received a shoutout during the celebratory roll call to cast their vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, Staley posted to X about it, but did not say she was going to the DNC two days later. There is no official word as to why Staley is there, but she walked with First Lady Jill Biden’s presidential delegation at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics and saluted President Joe Biden’s support of his vice president after he dropped out of the 2024 race.
